[Reader-list] India and patents

[Sonia Katyal]

Friends:  

A great article on a very thought provoking issue, definitely worth thinking about....

"Now that Cisco, Intel, General Electric, IBM, Sun Microsystems, and 
dozens of other companies have established Indian research centers, some 
fear that India's potential intellectual property will increasingly flow 
to multinational companies. "They're using Indian IQ to create IP for 
themselves," says Mashelkar. "We need to exploit our local IQ to 
generate IP for ourselves.""
