Ergo Newsflash
The Patent (Amendment) Rules, 2019 (Revised Rules) have come into force from 17 September 2019. The key highlights of the Revised Rules are broadly set out below:
The Revised Rules will ease filing of applications at the first instance. However, the 15 (fifteen) day time period to submit original documents when specifically requested for by the Indian Patent Office may pose a challenge to applicants, especially applicants residing in foreign jurisdictions. Other changes such as fee incentives and expanding the type of applicants who can avail expedited examination is a welcome move. Foreign applicants seeking to expedite examination of patent applications will especially benefit from any arrangement between the Indian Patent Office and foreign patent office(s) pursuant to the Revised Rules.
