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.
