In an article published in The Dartmouth, discussing the policies and reforms by the current Indian Government, SFLC.in’s work on Internet shutdowns was mentioned.

The Economic Times published an interview with Mishi Choudhary about the launch of portal internetshutdowns.in. Neha discussed various topics in the conversation such as why do we need this website, what did we learn while researching and how the government can address this issue among the other pertinent questions.

Prasanth Sugathan was quoted in the article as saying, "The legislature by limiting the scope of patentable subject matter in the field of software wanted our software professionals and industry to innovate and not be stifled by companies holding a stockpile of patents." 

In context of the latest guidelines of the Office of the Controller General of Patents, Designs & Trade Marks (CGPDTM) released on February 19, 2016, Prasanth Sugathan was quoted in the article as saying, “The implication of these guidelines is that start-ups and software developers will continue to have the freedom to innovate without worrying about litigation in this area and infringement notices. Ambiguous guidelines, like those published in August last year, would have resulted in a patent minefield like in the U.S."
