The Sections and Rules important for the examination have been labeled so that students can give emphasis to important questions while reading.

The Act has been interpreted to easy language for understanding of the concept. We have tried our best to maintain the original flavor of the actual statue, however, our interpretation may divert from the interpretation done by another person.

Some of the examples and case-studies in the study material have been taken from “Manual of Patent Practice & Procedures, 2008”, published by Indian Patent Office to give insight into real cases related to assessment of various aspects of patent law by Indian Patent office.
