Delhi HC patents verdict may hit small-scale, mid-sized manufacturers
New Delhi: A verdict by a two-judge bench of the Delhi High Court last week is expected to have an adverse impact on India’s mid and small manufacturers who licence patents from large international firms. The court ruled that in the issues pertaining to rights of patentees, the Patents Act overrides the Competition Act and hence the anti-trust regulator cannot probe issues pertaining to rights of patentees. This verdict was delivered in the appeals moved by global companies Ericsson and Monsanto against a Competition Commission of India (CCI) probe.
