In yet another encouraging sign that India
is moving in the right direction toward stronger intellectual property
protection, the government of India is mulling a "turnaround"
in its policy on data exclusivity, and is considering granting pharmaceutical
companies their demand for such data exclusivity.
Here's the article in the Financial Express of India.
The reason I said "yet another encouraging sign" is that I learned last week at WIPO that the Indian government has "reassigned" members of it's WIPO delegation to other posts.
Back in June I had noted that India's delegation seemed out-of-touch with the direction of intellectual property policy in India. Now, it seems that the Indian government has realized that its delegation in Geneva was contradicting Indian policy, and is moving to make changes.
It's good to see India moving in the right direction, both in it's policy on intellectual property, and in its delegation to Geneva.
