Judge
N. Seshasayee
Outcome
Set aside

Headnote

Three prior arts were relied on in the hearing notice and answered with written submissions and evidence. The order discussed neither, and even on the one document it did address it merely extracted passages from the examination report. The patent office should not be seen as killing the scientific temper of the citizens of this country.
