Form and shape of Innovators and Inventors Association

GROUP VIII : Form and shape of Innovators and Inventors Association

Those who are involved in innovations of agricultural products or plants, felt that the agricultural practices should be shared with the local communities, as they are representatives of that area only. There is no need for patenting at all. They should be used only for community help.

Traditional health system innovation – only community should be benefited by it. As it is community knowledge it should be respected and should not be spread and formalized.

Innovations dealing with tools and implements must be patented.
