Robert Bosch Limitada v. Deputy Controller of Patents and Designs, C.M.A.(PT) 31/2023

Date of judgment
Judge
N. Seshasayee
Outcome
Remanded

Headnote

The application was rejected essentially for insufficiency of description, a ground neither the First Examination Report nor the hearing notice had ever indicated. The applicant would therefore have had no opportunity to supply the description the Controller had in mind, and the Controller did not engage with inventive step at all.
