WHOSE BASMATI IS IT?
Basmati is aromatic rice grown in northern India and Pakistan.
In September 1997, Rice Tec, a small food technology company based in Texas, unites
states was granted a patent by the US patent office to call an aromatic rice variety
developed in USA basmati. India challenged the case, arguing that basmati is unique
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
aromatic rice grown in Northern India, and not a name rice Tec could claim. In fact only
inventions can be patented. Consequently, the US patent office accepted India’s basic
position, and Rice Tec had to drop 15 of the 20 claims that it had made. Of the remaining
claims, Rice Tec managed to evolve three new varieties of rice for which it got patent from
United States Patent and Trademarks Office (USPTO), as India had not objected to these.
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
The ruling has not handed over Rice Tec the basmati brand. Rather, it provides it a patent
for superior three strains of basmati developed by cross breeding a Pakistani basmati with a
semi-dwarf American variety.
According to the WTO agreement, geographical indications like basmati can be legally
protected and their misuse can be thus prevented. The unfortunate thing is that government
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
of India has not taken timely steps for protecting our geographical indications and bio-
diversity. Although a Geographical Indication of Goods Bill was introduced in India
parliament in 1999, even at the end of 2001 it had not become an Act.
Questions:
- Can any of the following, viz., turmeric, neem and the name basmati be patented. Substantiate your answer.
- Evaluate the role played by the Government of India in preventing the misuse of the name basmati.

Q.5 Case Study 14
Japan to Apple’s iPhone: “No Thanks”
The new version of Apple’s iphone has generally been a strong seller worldwide, except in
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
Japan. While some analysts had estimated.that Apple would sell a million units of its latest
iphone in Japan, revised estimates put/the number at more like 500,000 phones. So what’s
the problem? The phone uses the faster 3G network and offers a touch screen. And Apple
iPods and computers are popularin Japan.
Well, it turns out that apple iphone’s use of the 3G network is not a big deal in Japan,
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
because 3G access has been a standard feature on Japanese cell phones for several years.
And as far as the touch sereen is concerned, some Japanese consumers feel that would have
problems getting used-to it. Perhaps the biggest hurdle facing Apple, however, is what the
iphone doesn’t have. Remember, Japanese consumers enjoy some of the world’s most
technologically advanced cell phone features, such as “a high-end color display, digital TV
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
—viewing capability, satellite navigation service, music player and digital camera.” Another
“must have” feature in Japan, lacking in the iphone, is “emoji,” which is clip art that can be
inserted into sentences to make e-mails more attractive. In addition, many mobile phone in
Japan allow their users to use their phones as debit cards or train passes.
Questions:
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
- Did apple err in trying to sell its latest iphone in Japan?
- Is the Japanese cell phone market similar to the cell phone markets in other countries?
