We received a tip off from an anonymous source that the rain that devastated Chennai in November and early December, also found its way into Chennai’s IPO – destroying many trademark and patent files in the basement and on the ground floor. We hear that until recently, the water was being pumped out of the office, with casual labourers retrieving the files and leaving them out to dry at the bus stand. With the weather forecasts predicting that the rains are all set to make a comeback in Chennai, it is even more pertinent that the files be restored at the earliest.
