For the longest time I have been wondering when a pharma would try to patent Neem for tooth/other medicinal uses. Little did I know that the patent application had already happened.
I am glad such a repository exists to handle prior art for Indian medicines. I am worried about African/other poor countries that are unable to protect their indigenous medicinal use cases since they may lack the repository. Perhaps they can piggy back on the Indian effort or may be a worthy premise for a socially oriented startup with some funding from the big and/or little names in VC.
