India, U.S. Agree To Cooperate on Patents, Copyright Protection

From the Department of State, India, U.S. Agree To Cooperate on Patents, Copyright Protection:
India agreed to consider measures for preventing disclosure of proprietary data on U.S. agricultural chemicals and pharmaceuticals, USTR said.

Meanwhile, the agency said, the United States agreed to cooperate on minimizing improper granting of patents for products based on traditional knowledge, a contentious issue between developed and developing countries in the long-stalled World Trade Organization (WTO) negotiations.

Traditional knowledge is one of the interests of this blog.
