2015 USTR Report: Old Wine in New Bottle: by Anubha Sinha — published May 11, 2015 — last modified Jun 16, 2015 10:24 AM — filed under: Intellectual Property Rights, Homepage, Limitations & Exceptions, Access to Knowledge
Every year, the Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR) undertakes an elaborate exercise to castigate countries' domestic intellectual property (IP) law and policy. The criticisms and recommendations are presented in a document called the Special 301 Report. This year's edition puts India on the Priority Watch List for the twenty-sixth time in a row. Below, I rebut the report's prejudicial claims and demands, and argue that the report puts free speech, innovation and public interest in jeopardy.

Intellectual Property in Mobile Application Development in India: by Anubha Sinha — published Nov 17, 2014 — last modified Aug 31, 2015 02:33 PM — filed under: Access to Knowledge, Pervasive Technologies
A steady rise in smart phone penetration in India has led to a corresponding growth of the mobile application development industry. Mobile application development like all technological implementations is subject to intellectual property issues. However, very little is understood about the effect of existing patent and copyright law on this niche industry. I aim to develop an understanding of the mobile applications industry, and how it is governed by current Indian patent and copyright regime. I will also use this research to inform the optimal ways in which policymakers may ensure the continual emergence of the mobile applications industry. This blog post lays down a document delineating the research methodology and research questions within the Intellectual Property in Mobile Application Development in India chapter under the Pervasive Technologies Project. The document is a work in progress.
