Abstract: This scientific and academic paper aims to make a historical review of the female contribution to the history of computing, through a bibliographic research by qualitative methodology of data analysis. So this story begins with Augusta Ada King, Countess Ada Lovelace, a precursor to the field of development and programming in the field of computer technology by developing the first machine-executable algorithm, in this case the Charles Babbage Analytical Engineer. Thus, there is the redemption of female names that have made a major contribution to the development of computer history and which are of utmost importance to connoisseurs of computer science today. It then presents aspects of Ada Lovelace's life, which shows her story from the variations that have reached family relationships and moments of dedication in mathematics studies, as well as her writing talent manifested through poetic science that has resulted in a futuristic vision and that led to imagine the potential of machines long before being used or displayed, thus showing them a human being far ahead of her time and with fantastic ideas for her time, considering that at that time as women they had no rights and no spaces they have today. Thus, she demonstrated that her imagination about artifacts went beyond her usefulness to humans. Finally, we analyze or analyze Ada's thinking left to science and technology, as well as some curiosities about who is a memorable person for humanity to the present day in the field of use, including being celebrated and acclaimed using a date that how to recover. Its memory and have a great worldwide repercussion, as well as a programming language that bears her name and other expressions of rescue of her memory, characterizing a social recognition for a person.

Abstract: The telecom sector has been a pivotal force behind India’s digital transformation. Surge in data consumption and rapid adoption of new technologies continue to redefine connectivity and engagement dynamics in India. As the largest data consumer and the second largest smartphone market, India is carving out a new digital identity globally. At the same time such a digital transformation has been brought by innovative companies who wish to be compensated for their efforts, often via licensing. The first part of this paper will explain the impact of standardization on the Indian market. The second part will focus on the key role of an effective patent enforcement system in balancing standardisation contributors and implementers’ interests. On this regard, the paper analyses the changing patent landscape in India. It follows a brief review of the Indian jurisprudence relating to patents essential to a technical standard. Third, the paper will identify some of the main strengths and obstacles of the patent litigation system in this particular field, including some concrete proposals or suggestions for improvement in the latter. Finally, the paper will sketch some general conclusions.
