The facts of the scale would not be protected, but expressions of it would be--for example, taking an image of the scale from a journal and including it in a new document would require permission.

Do brain cells die when you receive an injury with Glasgow Coma Scale of 3?
The Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) is a tool medical professionals use to objectively evaluate the degree to which a person is conscious or comatose. Also referred to as the "Glasgow Coma Score," it operates on a scale of "3" to "15," in which progressively higher scores indicate higher levels of consciousness. For example, while a patient who is profoundly unconscious would receive a 3 according to the Glasgow Coma Scale, conscious, healthy adults would be rated at 15. Immediately after a head trauma, emergency doctors and nurses will use the Glasgow Coma Scale to assess a patient's condition. Others who use the GCS include intensive care staff, EMTs and chronic care professionals. If a person has a brain injury resulting in a GCS of 3, it is most likely that the person has suffered some amount of brain damage.

At what Glasgow coma scale score is it appropriate to intubate?
General rule is less than 8...that being said there are very few always and nevers in medicine. A 2009 study of 73 patients with Glasgow scale less than 12 (many less than 8) did not intubate and they did not aspirate. A better answer would be to thoroughly assess the patient including history if available when deciding whether to tube or not.
What are legal issues in India for starting a digital library?
Copyright will be a significant issue. You may digitize materials in the public domain, but anything protected will require permission from the rightsholder to make the digital copy, and to distribute it online. Fees for physical copies are 400 Rs per work; fees for digitization have not been standardized. As with large-scale digitization projects like Google Books and Europeana, you are likely to encounter orphan works: works where the rightsholder is unknown or cannot be located. Like many countries, India has failed to create a reasonable set of laws or even guidelines for the use of orphan works: without permission from the copyright holder, the work cannot be legally used.

Frankly, it's not possible to enforce copyright law completely. The government really only seeks out large-scale importers, and content owners generally only sue when they know it'd be worth their while. At the lowest level, copyright is more of an ethical issue: as a user, will you do the right thing, even if you know you won't get caught?
