Hi,
Evalueserve did a follow up on the IP China article with the patent filing trends in the Indian IT, Pharma and Auto Industry. Since your articles deal with patents, I think you will also be interested in the attached short studies. They talk about the low patenting activity among domestic IT and Pharma companies in India.
The complete report (Patenting Landscape in India) has been published on our website and can be accessed at http://www.evalueserve.com/Media-And-Reports/WhitePapers.aspx.
Do let me know if you need any additional information.
Regards,
Rahul Rajpal
