Which state recorded the highest Ayush patent activity, with 744 filings and 142 grants?
- A.Maharashtra
- B.Kerala
- C.Tamil Nadu
- D.Gujarat
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is Maharashtra. The report names Maharashtra as the state leading Ayush patent activity, crediting it with 744 filings and 142 grants, a wider lead than any other state in the country holds. Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Gujarat are plausible guesses, because each has a long association with traditional systems of medicine and a strong pharmaceutical or research base, but the report does not place any of them at the top of this particular table. Candidates should note that patent filings follow where research institutions, universities, startups and industry are concentrated, rather than where a system of medicine is most widely practised. Remember the pair of numbers along with the state name, since question setters often ask for the filings and the grants separately rather than together.
