The Patents Act, 1970 is the principal legislation governing patent law in India, laying down the framework for grant, protection, enforcement, and regulation of patents. It plays a vital role in fostering innovation while balancing public interest, making it indispensable for inventors, businesses, legal professionals, and policy makers.
This Bare Act with Comments, published by Law & Justice Publishing Co., presents the updated and authoritative text of the Act as amended by the Jan Vishwas (Amendment of Provisions) Act, 2023, effective from 1 August 2024, ensuring compliance with the latest legislative reforms aimed at decriminalisation and ease of doing business.
The 2025 Edition comprehensively includes the Patents Rules, 2003 (as amended up to March 2024), along with procedural rules relating to appeals and applications before the Intellectual Property Appellate framework. It further provides essential practical information such as territorial jurisdiction of patent offices, official addresses, and statutory time limits, making it a complete reference for patent practice in India.
Supplemented with Landmark Judgments, this edition offers valuable judicial interpretation on patentability, compulsory licensing, infringement, revocation, and procedural compliance, making it equally useful for advisory, drafting, prosecution, and litigation purposes.
