| In my point of view patent bill is important for our country. Now a days unemployment is high due to some problems. If patent bill is there then enterprises are increased, because of innovative thoughts of youth. By this unemployment also decreases. |

| Hi Friends, According to me patent bill is really a good of India. We know Indians have very brilliant mind. They always try to invent new things and they also do that. Patent bill help them to encourage their talent. But care should be taken. Because some times they will take disadvantage for their invention. So government should be take care in this direction. Government Will see everyone will take advantage of new invention. |

I think most of the time the inventor don't have capability in terms of finance or business knowledge even though his invention is fabulous and can prove a boon for society so patent and involvement of mnc will help the invention in reaching the masses.
India is known for 'Jugaad' & brilliant mind which leads to development of new thing (we call it invention). So patent will prove good for India and Indian people. To control its disadvantage proper monitoring is required. |

| I think patent bill for any country is of utmost importance and so is for India. India being a land of art & culture, this assumes even greater importance. In the absence of patent bill a person's zeal to invent is also killed. Also in the absence of patent bill our skilled resources would be shifting to other countries to get their invention patented and to showcase their talent. But for those inventions which benefits the society at large, patenting is not required. In that case the person should be allowed to receive a certain part of profit but must not be given exclusive right so that everyone enjoys the benefit of innovation. |

| According my point of view Patent bill is good for India. As it encourages inventor to discover or invent new things in medicine. It helps poor student to show their talent through new invention as well as remove various critical disease of human being. The duplicate medicine can be easily identified. But for poor people the govt of India should make relaxation in patent bills. |

| Patent bill will promote entrepreneurship which is the need of densely populated and developing country like India, but certain provisions should be made to avoid any kind of monopoly which might lead to black marketing. Some rules can be made like some some share of profit to be given to its entrepreneur by others producing the same stuff. This will help both. |

| It is good for any budding talent and will promote entrepreneurship. Which is what any densely populated and developing country like India will need. But government must also see that it doesn't leads to any form of black marketing. 1 IDEA from my side "it should be allowed to be produced by others with some amount of profits to be paid to its respective entrepreneur" this will avoid monopoly and the deserving will get its due credit. |

| Hi friends. I support all of your views that patient bill is important. It is important for development new technology. Because if patent bill isn't there someone's invention is theft by other. And the inventor will not get the right price of his/her work. But though it have some bad side also. For example in pharma industry some company invented a new medicine of a certain disease their is no competition they can hike the product price as they will and the sufferer will be the common people. So the patient bill is needed but government must monitor the companies new inventions should be reached our common people properly. |

| Yes the patent bill might be good to country & the world as well but it has several side-effects on the developing nations. Developing nations lack funds 2 carry out research on their traditional knowledge. Developed nation with their capital research traditional knowledge of a developing nation & then commercially exploit it by taking a patent based on that traditional knowledge. |

Hello everyone,
As we know that patents is a form of intellectual property and its granted to those inventor who invents any new, non obious and should have industrial application. Because of patents we gets incentives to Indian pharma company, better living statndards, good healthy competition amongs industry and more innovatives products comes into markets but at same time its cost lives because anything which is under patent do costly and we are not enogh rich to buy the produt so what I meant it having disadvantages also like if do patent on life saving drugs then definetly it will cost to poor or need person. Finally at the end its all depends on inventors percepton. |

Hi friends.
Through patent law, the inventor will have a recognition and right over his product. So, this inspires them and also many people to invent something useful. Patents are good not only for India, but for the whole world. Every individual who contributed something original to the society must get his due recognition whether in India or elsewhere. In country like India, where 50% of the population are still illiterate, we need to bring about awareness in the matters of patents. And each one of us need to know, how patent laws can affect a country and how we fought cases concerning patent rights of Basmati rice, neem and turmeric. Many of our natural resources or indigenous products of our farmers can be at stake, if we are unaware of patent rights. |

Positives:
1. Safety against illegal and unauthorized use of a technology, an idea or a natural resource.
2. Source of inspiration, motivation and pride to the inventors to keep on doing the good work besides encouraging young innovators and others in R&D.
Negatives:
1. Should not be done of FMCGs and things which influence our society.
2. Patent of natural resources should be given with restrictions.
3. It leads to increase in production costs in most of the cases. |

| First of all we have to know with what patent bill deals with, this bill makes mandatory to patent all new innovation generated by public funded research. Scientist themselves are not happy over this bill. This will involve a huge amount of paperwork and moreover this bill is not in the interest of the public, if public research is sold to company that price thier product very high then people will end up paying double amount. There is also concern that large amount of exchequer will be lost because patenting in itself is very costly process. |

| Hi friends, according to me patents bill is good for India as I know we any researcher produces his research paper for development than credit must be given to the that researcher so there comes a great confident in all researcher to do the research in all area. By which our country growth is on high rate. Its another benefits is on commercialization area. If company products patent bill is totally related to company and there is no any type of tax than it sold to the consumer at lesser price. So these are area where patent bill is good. |

| Patent in India should be judged accordingly by the Government. For ex- If Patent rights of a very important medicine is given away to any MNC then it won't be fruitful as the MNC will indulge itself in profit maximization and in country like India, where 40% population is in the chains of poverty, there will be no one but just 5% people who would afford its cost. |

| Patent rights should be provided to the people on the knowledge they had discovered. The main problem in India is most of them got sticked to foreign culture and forgot our Indian culture. Due to this mismatch among a particular product i.e, the way they pack and cost factors if the same product has been given by some other countries it has a special craze in using that. Last but not the least once you are interested in buying a product enquire your well wishers because they know much more information because they follow the actual SCIENCE. |

Hello friends, first I would like to say something, that what is the patent in my point of view "Patent is the protection of the rare idea OR things which is created by the hard work and creativity".
Why the patent is good for India.
By the patent a person can get security about his/her discovery which there hard work ant there unique creativity.
Only patent can give reward of the invention, because when a person invent something he/she had used there big part of time to create something but what they have create it's price not will be as much as they had given the time and don the hard work. By the selling the patent they can get there incentive which they can't get without patent & it's also encourage the people to innovation and discovering the new idea to do something.
But there should be some rules and regulation for the patent.
Patent should not give for the natural things we can say patent only give for that things which a person have create very new and after given the patent, peoples existing needs and activity should not effected.
For the give the patent there should be a appropriate rules and regulations for the example.
What will be time period for the patent.
It should be check that patent gainer did not stole any idea from the other people or things which he/she is going to take patent.
By the given patent it's negative effect should not com on the people existing right & needs. |

I Think the Patents Bill is good provided a layman should be aware of this. Patents bill is Really good because it help to get a profit from someone invention. And is much needed in country like India. If we see many of over Bollywood movies are copied from some another movie or it is the remake of any old movie. This kind of situation the Patents Bills really help a lot to original inventor of product.
This is was a simple example which I shared with you but there can be more cases with different -different product. So Patents Bill is Good for India. |

| Patent bills or patent rights are nothing but the rights given on the new discovery or invention done to a person. People living in remote areas are unaware of such things. They discover new ideas or new things but they remain undiscovered. So government should organise some awareness programme so that people can be aware of patent rights and rights should be issued on the name of the person who has discovered. |

Either it may be the medicinal use of TULSI or turmeric, plastic surgery of great shushurata or recent basmti rice issue.

Hello friends, before saying anything, first I want to explain the exact meaning of this so called patents bill. Patent bill, or patent act is an act which provides an exclusive right granted for inventions, which may b a product or a new idea which provides new direction in doing some thing more innovative.
Yes I agree with this that it is good for india, as well as other contries too, as it is justice with the inventors. They have a recognition and full right over there product or idea, and this inspires them a lot.
Although its good in some way, but somewhere, common man is suffering from it, as they had to pay more cost for the products under this patent bill.
Even if a man is inventing something independently but few days later, then he won't have any right over it, as the person who have already invented it, can claim a case on him.
So at the end I wold like to conclude by saying that its a good act as it provides inspiration to common man and the inventor too, but it should not increase etc burden on common man.
Thanks to all. |

Hi every one.
Patent bill is a very good for the India, as patent act provides the security for inventor, motivate by giving rewards in the form of benefits. It's a need of human being/nation whether it is in the form of money or publicity of brand. In case of patenting necessary things like medicine in Indian patent act their is provision that no one can patent medicine which will going to use for life threading diseases and government have right to off patent any medicine in emergency situations. So in conclusion patent bill is need to encourage researchers in R&D sector in India in turn to increase the financial involvement by government. |

| As we all know, patenting anything has both good and bad sides to it. There are two types of goods, consumer staples, which are required by all as necessary, and consumer discretionaries, which are luxuries, that everyone cannot afford. For a country like india, where more than 40% of people are below poverty line, it would be unjust on our part to patent the consumer staples, like health care, medicine. We can't make someone reap the benefits of their patents, keeping the lives of the poor people at stake. But at the same time, patenting of technologies like those used in the mobile industry would certainly spur the economy by encouraging research in that field. |

| I totally agree with all the points being said on the favour of the patent bill in India, as it would benefit the new generation inventors to patent their technology in the country itself rather than going on for some higher approval outside the country. The patent bill would help the inventors safeguard their inventions from being used illegally by any other person or country. Like if an author publishes a book, he gets the rights of the book to sell it to anybody or distribute it for free. Same way patent bill would prove a great boost to the development of our economy! |

| Patent bill is good for developing country but not good for poor country because developing country has many talent people through hire. But poor country can not hire talent people. It increase the product price and waste many time. It discourage the poor country. Such as a ex- a Indian poor talent student can not shown fully talent because he don't study in good college but he has a talent person. So he have to do work without machinery and low price. |

I too feel patents bill is necessary and important to be introduced in India. See as every Writer, every brands, every company has his copyrights, then why an inventor should not have his own and to be recognized. An inventor work hard day and night to give a society of people useful and efficient things, So as a responsible citizen, we should encourage them through giving them an Honor and respect. |

Every innovation is important and must be recognised and with the every product of Patent the name of the person who is responsible for this Patent must be mentioned because all of us should know about the inventions of that country and that persons. People who are from poor family invented a lot of things but they they have no idea about what they have invented and that add to what the world. Many of the times value additions is also can be done by this process. I would suggest a common forum for rural areas inventions so that every persons is recognised.

If the idea is from a particular person means he should get his share, whomever uses his idea. its not that somebody uses this persons idea and keep making money. Anybody can do a work if they know what they have to do and make money. Important thing here is first they should know what they have to do. this comes from the thinking ability which is an intellectual property which must get its value. |

Patent bill is certainly good for India because it is a developing country needs to increase the number of researches and developments. This bill will certainly ensure security of the innovations of various institutions and research centers thereby encouraging more number of researches. As such India is well behind in R&D sector spending less than 1% of its GDP in it.So if the number of researches will be more then the govt will be bound to spend more and this will change our R&D scenario completely.
Not only that various foreign MNCs as well as Indian companies will also be able to secure there intellectual property in their R&D sectors which will also enhance foreign direct investments. So this bill can be a boon for our developing economy. |

If a country or a person have manufactured something new then he/she must get all the benefits of it. If a person manufacture something he must be known for his ability. Nobody remembers who made a mobile phone but everybody do remembers who made a telescope, it's just because of the generation gap. |

Patent is a neccessary law as it can not only give an individual but his/her country by the development done by that person.So if the goverment awares all the citizen by some campaign about the importance of this law our country can produce many gems because many a time due lack of knowledge about a n individual development can be copied by other and the other will take the fame for it.

Patent is one, that is needed for each and every country. Its helps to increase motivation of the people by giving the benefits for what they have patented. He can be recognized and if he is interested, then he can sell the patent to others and can earn profit for a particular period of time.
No one other than he cannot produce the same product and market it.
I think for a developing country like India, it is essential for encouraging and motivating other talent. |

Patent laws form a very important part of a developing nation and as such its enforceability opens up many opportunities for India. In the early 1990's, FDI was restricted many because our lack of patent laws made it difficult for MNC's to protect their intellectual property. Now that patent protection is being enforced, MNC's are more comfortable bringing in technology and intellectual property making India more richer.
However, the pharma industry which was a striving business under the policy of process patent was dealt irreparable harm by the enforcement of product patent when India joined the WTO.
Also, there have been cases where seeds of Indian farmers have been patented by a foreign counterparty due to lack of awareness and funds of the former. For example, recently the you. S. Government granted a patent for the anti-diabetic properties of karela, jamun, and brinjal to two non-resident Indians, Onkar S. Tomer and Kripanath Borah, and their colleague Peter Gloniski. Yet the use of these substances for control of diabetes is everyday knowledge and practice in India. |

Patenting is definitely a good thing and may help a innovative mind reap the profits for the hardwork he has done.
But there should be a limit on the items or ideas which can be put under patenting law.
We cant afford to patent medicines in a poor country like ours, we cant think of patenting healthcare services in our country, we should not patent education. In short govt must not allow patenting of things that affects life of a poor and common man.
Plus we shud not patent things which are related to cultures and religions. E. G. What happened in usa where a man patented yoga asans. |

| In my point of view patent bill is important for India because someother country using products which are well known in India from long time and we are unable to use our products because we don't have right to use them. |

Patents bills in India is very important. As India is a democratic country, with a huge population. As its said per head different thoughts.Each individual would be able to express his ideas.There would be no communism.
But on the other hand as India also ranks in corruption, so the thoughts can be bought and sold.

| Patents are good not only for India, but for the whole world. Every individual who contributed something original to the society must get his due recognition whether in India or elsewhere. In country like India, where 50% of the population are still illiterate, we need to bring about awareness in the matters of patents. And each one of us need to know, how patent laws can affect a country and how we fought cases concerning patent rights of Basmati rice, neem and turmeric. Many of our natural resources or indigenous products of our farmers can be at stake, if we are unaware of patent rights. Hence India definitely needs a patent bill. |

| Patent basically done to put an end on the cheating by others by making same kind of product in size, shape, design. Getting it aptent the product tends to remain with the person. He b sole owner of the product either if he wnats to sell itz patents right he can. So patent is positive devlepoment shuld b there. N provide some kind of prove that product belongs to a person n can hav all the benefits somay arise with it. |
