Apart from the disappointing event, I had a related query. How open is
the patent process in India? Are granted and pending patents available
for review publicly on the Net like the US PTO? OR do we have to do it
the desi style (the freedom of information act style) .. where you go to
the patent office in person, and pay for a copy of the documents.
