Patently Unfair

This article appeared in the TOI Middle on 27th Nov and is by the director of NISTADS. The article is on India's TK (Traditional Knowledge), and the problems with the current patent laws. I like the language, the tone and some of the arguments presented. Good read. The KM lesson in it is to do with the necessity of documentation when it comes to proving the origin of ideas.

NISTADS, I found out is the National Institute of Science, Technology and Development Studies and is part of CSIR (Council of Scientific and Industrial Research)
