    Case Summary: UPL Limited v. Haryana Pesticides Manufacturers Association Court Decision: The Bombay High Court set aside the Deputy Controller of Patents' February 2018 rejection order and remanded UPL's patent application for fresh consideration by a different Controller. The court found the rejection order fatally flawed because the Controller completely failed to consider or address expert affidavit evidence submitted by the petitioner regarding the invention's novelty and inventive step, violating statutory obligations under the Patents Act and Rules. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
