Hi all, I'm not a lawyer, though i have been on the wrong side of software patents many times.
It's not completely true that software patents are not allowed in india. The simple answer is, it depends on the technology. Mobile, multimedia codecs, et al are frought with patent issues that can be lawfully upheld in india. To the OP, what kind of domain are we talking about? Is there a similar patent awarded elsewhere, particularly US? It would be helpful if there is a patent overview or application no. available. Again, these kind of things rarely go in favor of foss, so please share as much info as possible. Thanks.
