In our campus we are campaigning against the patents rule change and its effects effcts on society. Today we had a talk by Dr. K. P Aravindan of KSSP (Kerala Sastra Sahithya Parishad) about ptents. I'll write about it later in my blog. Meanwhile I've posted a notice that was there in the notice boards of our college in my blog.
Read and participate in the discussions there

Please post any links, articles, views or opinions that could help in voicing our concern against the proposed drastic amendments to the Patents Act.
