Just got the e-mail, didn't make it through (didn't have high hopes anyway). Congrats to the teams that got the interview!

How do you check how many times your video was viewed and the playback time? Sorry...still new to this whole thing.

Oh, so at least we get a rejection e-mail if we don't get through right?

EDIT: So apparently, they do. Looking forward to that e-mail tonight. All the best to everyone.

There's an unsettling trend in startups today on IP protection. A lot of incubators/accelerators seem to think that having a protectable IP = innovation.

By placing more focus on patents rather than on real innovation, we are far from acting as a catalyst to promote innovation in developing countries like India. Intellectual monopolies in the developed world prohibit SMEs in developing countries from growing to the point where they are able to compete in global markets with the western IP heavyweights. It is imperative that developing countries like India and China place careful thought before committing to restrictive FTAs that are specifically designed to keep them at a lower level of technological development.
