Patent Examination and Pre-Grant Opposition are independent processes, says t...BananaIP Counsels
In an appeal filed by Novartis from the decision of a Single Judge, the Division Bench of the Delhi High Court considered if a pre-grant opponent would have the right to participate and get a hearing with respect to amendments made by the patent applicant based on directions of the Controller of Patents. The pre-grant oppositions in the case were filed by NATCO and several others, and the Single Judge held that pre-grant opponents have to be heard with respect to all amendments as the patent examination and pre-grant opposition processes merge once a representation is accepted by the Controller. Disagreeing with the Single Judge, the Division Bench held that patent examination and pre-grant opposition are independent and separate processes.

In the case of Huhtamaki Oyj And Anr Vs Controller Of Patents at the Delhi High Court, a significant development has transpired. The focus was on a Polymer Technology patent application titled “An Essentially Biobased Thermoformable Composition And Containers Formed Thereof”.

After detailed reconsideration, it's confirmed that the patent was granted on 26th July 2023. This case emphasizes the critical role of comprehensive examination in the patent granting process and the resilience necessary from applicants.

The conclusion of the report reads as follows:
"To conclude, we observed an overall increase in the IP Statistics in 2021. In the year 2021 number of patents published increased by 2%, the number of trademarks filed increased by 13.78%, the number of copyrights filed increased by 29.71% and the number of geographical indications filed increased by 49.01%. We also observed that the number of patents granted increased by 15.66%, trademarks registered increased by 33.96%, and geographical indications registered increased by 560% in 2021. However, the number of designs registered decreased by 17.54%."
Statistics as Indicators
Intellectual Property statistics have since long been used as indicators of intellectual activity, and the findings of this report signify an increase in innovative and creative activity in India despite the pandemic. The numbers also indicate the importance being given to IP protection in the Indian market by both Indian and foreign organisations.
Talking about the report, Dr. Kalyan C. Kankanala stated, "IP filings in India have been steadily increasing since 2014, and the increase in 2021 is not surprising. What is interesting is the fact that patent, trademark, and other IP filings increased despite the negative consequences of COVID-19.
The increase in numbers is in sync with increased enforcement, licensing, and litigation.
Over the last decade, we have seen a significant transformation in the IP ecosystem in India, and I can today state with confidence that we are no longer a nation that views IP with circumspection."

Prof. AB develops a product called "STUNOOPER", a pen capable of assessing student participation in class based on facial expressions, gestures, etc. and providing proposed grades. He tests it from 2019-2021, when he finalizes the design and uses it to grade students. Prof. AB writes the integrating code himself while using open source algorithms and libraries, and keeps his expanding training data secret. It is unclear if this is a good idea or product.

Lifting the Corporate Veil. Power Point Presentationseri bangash
"Lifting the Corporate Veil" is a legal concept that refers to the judicial act of disregarding the separate legal personality of a corporation or limited liability company (LLC). Normally, a corporation is considered a legal entity separate from its shareholders or members, meaning that the personal assets of shareholders or members are protected from the liabilities of the corporation. However, there are certain situations where courts may decide to "pierce" or "lift" the corporate veil, holding shareholders or members personally liable for the debts or actions of the corporation.
Here are some common scenarios in which courts might lift the corporate veil:
Fraud or Illegality: If shareholders or members use the corporate structure to perpetrate fraud, evade legal obligations, or engage in illegal activities, courts may disregard the corporate entity and hold those individuals personally liable.
Undercapitalization: If a corporation is formed with insufficient capital to conduct its intended business and meet its foreseeable liabilities, and this lack of capitalization results in harm to creditors or other parties, courts may lift the corporate veil to hold shareholders or members liable.
Failure to Observe Corporate Formalities: Corporations and LLCs are required to observe certain formalities, such as holding regular meetings, maintaining separate financial records, and avoiding commingling of personal and corporate assets. If these formalities are not observed and the corporate structure is used as a mere façade, courts may disregard the corporate entity.
Alter Ego: If there is such a unity of interest and ownership between the corporation and its shareholders or members that the separate personalities of the corporation and the individuals no longer exist, courts may treat the corporation as the alter ego of its owners and hold them personally liable.
Group Enterprises: In some cases, where multiple corporations are closely related or form part of a single economic unit, courts may pierce the corporate veil to achieve equity, particularly if one corporation's actions harm creditors or other stakeholders and the corporate structure is being used to shield culpable parties from liability.
