Selfish, greedy American patent laws

American corporations are back to patenting ideas, inventions, and products that are heredity rights of India. Earlier it was basmati, turmeric and a range of other commodities and this time it is, hold your breath, Yoga – the timeless invention that was passed across generation as a ‘open source code’ to be improvised.

This time, there is an Indian involved who has patented a set of Asanas (postures)…Me think ‘You too, Brutus’.
It appears that American patent laws are “too conducive” to the selfish greed of American corporations.
Time to change our Indian patent laws and my wish list for Indian patents include:
  • U.S.A
  • White House
  • WalMart
  • Burger King
  • Hollywood
  • Boeing
  • Microsoft
You are welcome to add u’r own wish list
