In that case India should also put a case against people doing sex in any position in USA, because Kamasutra is India's intellectual property. They have to pay India for that.

There are hundreds of patents in the US on yoga, medicinal aspects of haldi, neem, tulsi and adhrak. I hear they even patented Indian sutras, cashmere and saffron.

Rest of the countries should nullify this nuisance of patenting everything by US.

Everyone knows the likes of the WTO and IMF are institutions to promote the interests of the Western world alone, time and again this has been proven. Devloping nations are rising up and challenging the established world order and the Westerners don't like it. Expect more such issues and cases in the coming years......

Must say hats off to the Indian legislators who included Section 3(d) in the 2005 Indian Patent Act.

If the Chinese government allows Chinese pharmaceutical firms to do what the Indian government allows Indian firms，the world will be filled with Chinese generics over night and the likes of GlaxoSmithKline won't exist for long。

China spends billions of USD a year importing western medicines and has countless western pharmaceutical companies operating in the domestic market。

Perhaps China should take a leaf out of India's book？

Last year，I bought 5g of Sorafenib with purity of 99% from a small company in Zhejiang province, and it cost me only about 500 RMB. This correspond to 25 pills of Nexavar.
