Aso, that turmeric patent case — the US tried to patent wound healing using turmeric, which every aunty in our kitchen has known for centuries! India fought it and won by proving it was traditional knowledge. But kene, the obvious answer that patents protect innovation? My life says sometimes they just steal from the poor. I once thought of patenting a traditional herbal mix from my grandmother, but then I realized it’s like trying to own a sunrise.
