It all started four years ago when Bikram Choudhury, "yoga teacher to the stars", obtained a US copyright for his yoga style which includes 26 poses and two breathing exercises. Consequently, Bikram's action had infuriated the government of India. The government now wants to protect the country's traditional knowledge ranging from yoga to medical remedies.
According to www.usatoday.com, India has employed 100 historians and scientists to catalog 1, 500 yoga poses recorded in ancient texts. These poses would be later included in the Traditional Knowledge Digital Library.
When completed, the Traditional Knowledge Digital Library would be translated to English, French, Spanish, German and Japanese and would be sent to patent, copyright and trademark offices around the world.
V.K. Gupta of India's National Institute of Science Communication and Information Resources, which is developing the Traditional Knowledge Digital Library, says that the library will prevent "the grant of bad patents" or "misappropriation of traditional knowledge".
