Patent Gurukul and Pravin Gandhi College of Law at Mumbai are hosting a ‘brainstorming’ session on ‘Traditional Knowledge & Biodiversity’ on February 15, 2013. The session will focus on the recent 'Guidelines for Processing of Patent Applications Relating to Traditional Knowledge' and its implications on the Biodiversity Act & Rules. The objective of this exercise as outlined in the press release below:
In view of the extreme approach adopted by the government which is highly detrimental to indigenous research, it is proposed to draft recommendations to the government based on views emerging in the brainstorming. The final recommendations are expected to provide impetus to value added research based on sustainable development of indigenous resources with practical benefit-sharing model. Professionals like Dr. D.B. Anantha Narayana are expected to participate.
Experts in the field, researchers, innovators and students are likely to be mutually benefited by this brainstorming session.
