The Chair said that the Delhi and Mumbai meets were so "skewed" with
discussion only on 'software patents'.
I attended the Mumbai meeting. Also pls. see Dr. Nagarjuna's notes that
I forwarded to this list.
There were a lot of reps (incl. legal) from the pharma, biotech
industries, more than the software guys. In my opinion they said a lot
more collectively than the software guys. It was in the Mumbai meet
the chair declared that there would be a separate stake holder meeting
on "software" @ Bengaluru and likewise a for the pharma/biotech
industries to be announced.
True, there were differing views put forth on "Software Patents" but to
say the Mumbai meeting was skewed with discussion on 'software patents'
is a stretch.
