Headnote
Section 3(i) treats a process for the treatment of animals as a non-invention only where it is to render them free of disease, or to increase their economic value or that of their products. A composition for oral administration to cats with chronic renal disease, to restore appetite and weight, was never claimed as a permanent cure of any ailment, so the Controller had missed the critical limb of the provision.
Disposition
Allowed. Impugned order set aside and the matter remanded for de novo consideration of the section 3(i) objection alone.
