Our country is losing so much wealth and recognition because of a handful of administrators who, I am sure, have no idea of what a patent is and, how it works.
Government officials pointed out that the objection of the HRD ministry was on account of a confusion between patent and copyright.
This is a good example of what I discussed about, with some friends day-before-yesterday: Administraors unwilling to take any step forward as they do not know what "side-effects" it might have, thus threatening their position.
