India's setting a great precedent by granting exclusive rights granted by a patent only in combination with a requirement that the result be reasonable.
I think this kind of tweak to the patent system should be extended beyond medical life-or-death kind of products.
Our society grants these exclusive rights under certain conditions, because as a society we believe doing so benefits us all. There is no inherent natural right to have a patent (unlike what this bozo seems to believe), it is an artificial construct humans made up to improve society.
There is no reason we shouldn't tweak the parameters of patentability and the benefits received on an ongoing basis.
