(Council of Scientific and Industrial Research), Govt. of India on

the US patent granted 'Use of turmeric for wound healing'. The

patent was granted by the US patent office in the year 2000 to two

Sanskrit and other Indian languages on the above use of the

turmeric. US Patent Office accepted the objection raised by the CSIR

and retracted the patent.
