PRATHIBA Singh’s journey from a top IPR lawyer to a Permanent Judge in the Delhi High Court is full of milestones. She was a member of the IPR Think Tank which drafted India’s National IPR Policy in 2015, member of the committee to amend the Copyright Act in 2012 and member of the Parliamentary Committee to amend the Patent Act in 2002. How powerful does she feel as a Judge? “It is humility combined with blessings to do justice. If I perceive it as power, I don’t think I can do justice. This is a position of humility, not power,” says Justice Singh, who became Permanent Judge of Delhi HC in May 2017.
