June 29th, 2009

Unless you’ve been shipwrecked on a remote island in the South-Pacific, you are probably aware that we’ve got somewhat of a global economic downturn on our hands. While no one really knows how long it will last, everyone can attest to the fact that it is having an effect on what had become a fairly comfortable state of “business as usual.” Already we are seeing the all too predictable rounds of budget cuts and layoffs at many companies in a multitude of industries.

Patent Owners Can Improve Monetization Efforts When Attorneys Act As “Technology Scouts”

June 27th, 2009

It is usually up to an inventor to handle the business aspects of her patent rights. That is, patent lawyers deal with getting a patent for their clients; clients are supposed to make money from their patents.

Get ready to eat Patented Biryani; It’s ‘Incredible India’

June 24th, 2009

Be prepared to hold your excitement next time you walk in to your favourite restaurant to order a “Hyderabadi Biryani”. It’s quite likely that the waiter may ask you a question “Sir/Madam, Would you like to have the patented biryani or generic biryani”. Hopefully, you may not get stunned as you are familiar with “patented drugs” and “generic drugs”. I came to know from a journalist friend that some  Biryani Maker Association from Hyderabad is about to apply for GI registration for “Hyderabadi Biryani”, taking inspiration from Mr. V Natarajan, then Assistant registrar of GI (Chennai), who told in June 2008 that “Somebody should also file a GI for Hyderabadi biryani and pearls” . It will be a cake walk for the Biryani Maker Association if the present assistant registrar Mr. G.L. Verma also has the same opinion in this respect.  I will have no surprise if some BIRYANI also is granted IPR in country, which allowed patenting of deity and Temple Offering (Tiruppathi Laddu).
