Trademarks in Education :
The All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE), India’s technical education regulator, has ordered the CFA Institute “to cease operations in India”. AICTE’s order is the latest chapter in an ongoing fight between the CFA Institute and the Hyderabad-based Institute of Chartered Financial Analysts of India (Icfai) over the use of the terms—CFA and chartered financial analyst.
On 18 May, AICTE issued a notification that said the CFA Institute and its programme were not approved by it.

Patent Exploitation in Yoga:
As has happened in the past with several plant products like turmeric and neem used in traditional Indian medicines, yet another application has been filed in the US for patenting a form of indigenous knowledge from India. An NRI is aggressively claiming patent for a sequence of yoga asanas. And with the US Patent and Trademark Office issuing 150 yoga-related copyrights, 134 patents on yoga accessories, and 2,315 yoga trademarks, any one teaching these patented asanas might have to pay a royalty to the American patent holder.
