Dear Anon Coward,While I really value your inicisve comments on this blog (most recently, your very astute comments re: Mihirs post on Scrabulous), I have to urge you to please refrain from making ad hominem attacks against our bloggers. These are people who spend a considerable amount of time reviewing IP developments in India, so as to enrich your understanding. So please be a little more respectful of their efforts, before condemning them. As Sai rightly mentioned, our blog also tracks patent strategies (please read earlier posts where we exposed the failure in litigation strategies of Novartis and Roche). A patent litigator who wins 3 cases at the Supreme Court (where, as you will appreciate, an IP case pops up about once every 2 months or so) must surely be congratulated for his excellence in litigation strategy. And why not? Did you see Sai writing heavily in favour of the judgment? In fact, he was quite skeptical of GSK's position --if he was a mere sycophant, wouldn't he have praised the decision since it was in Mr Anand's favour? You must go through his exchanges with Shwetashree and me to understand his perspective on this case. The HLL case involved a serious public interest issue---double patenting, raising serious issues of transparency. So even from a policy perspective, it was a good outcome. Please read all of these previous posts before you condemn our bloggers as mere sycophants. Once again, I appreciate your participation on this blog and respect you as one of the more astute commentators. But please refrain from mounting ad hominem attacks in future--its really a waste of time--time that could have been spent debating the merits of these cases and advancing the cause of IP education. Thank you for understanding.
