HON'BLE THE ACTING CHIEF JUSTICE . HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE C.HARI SHANKAR

ORDER 10.01.2018

1. This writ petition highlights glaring non-compliance with the

provisions of the Patents Act, 1970 on the part the Controller

General of Patents. Inter alia, our attention is drawn to the scheme

of the enactment and the object of issuance of patents as is

manifested from Section 83 (b), (d) and (g) of the Patents Act,

1970 which deserves to be considered in extenso and read thus:

"83. General principles applicable to working of patented inventions.-

(a)xxx XXX XXX

~vt$ ____ ,..,... .. ,,-.. ·-·-

Page 51: Natco Pharma Limited - SpicyIP

., .. :

(b} that they are not granted merely to enable patentees to enjoy a monopoly for the importation of the patented article;

(c}xxx XXX XXX

(d) that patents granted do not impede protection of public health and nutrition and should act as instrument to promote public interest specially in sectors of vital importance for socio-economic and technological development of India;

(e}xxx

(f}xxx

XXX

XXX

XXX

XXX

(g) that patents are granted to make the benefit of the patented invention available at reasonably affordable prices to the public. ''

2. Mr. Abhimanyu Bhandari, ld. counsel for the petitioner

submits that the grant of patents results in the patentees getting

exclusive rights over the inventions and therefore, it is imperative

that the Controller General of Patents maintains a scrutiny as to

whether the patent is being worked or not. To ensure that the

patentees have not merely acquired rights over the invention and

are actually working the same, the statutory scheme requires a

patentee to submit periodic information. In this regard, Section

146 of the Patents Act, 1970 empowers the Controller General of

Patents, Designs, Trademarks and Geographical Indications to call

for information in a format prescribed in accordance with Rule 131 of

the Patents Rules, 2003. The manner in which the information has to

be submitted has been set out in Form-27 annexed to the Patents

Page 52: Natco Pharma Limited - SpicyIP

,. , >A.

'

Rules, 2003. Failure to comply with the statutory requirements

invites penalties and criminal action prescribed under Section 122

of the statute which includes imposition of fme as well as initiation

of criminal proceedings.

3. Our attention is drawn to several admissions to the effect

that the respondents are not ensuring compliance with the

requirements of Sectio·n 146 of the Patents Act, 1970 and, despite

failure of the patentees to conform to the requirements of Rule 131

of the Patents Rules, 2003 and Forrn-27, no action at all has been·

taken under Section 122 of the Patents Act, 1970.

4. In this regard, our attention is draWn. to the Annual Report

2012-13 submitted by the Office of the Controller General of

Patents, Designs, Trademarks and Geographical Indications. We

extract relevant portions of this Report wherein the following

disclosure is contained:

"(i) Working of Patents (Under Section 146): The Patent Office received 27946 Form-27 during the reporting year, of which 6201 were shown to be working.

2009- 2010- 2011- 2012-10 11 12 13

Patents 37334 39594 39989 43920 in force Form-27 24009 34112 27825 27946 received Reported 4189 6777 7431 6201" as working

5. A bare glance of the above would show that. despite the

Page 53: Natco Pharma Limited - SpicyIP

~--------·-

~ ( -'-... _ .

Controller General of Patents, Designs, Trademarks and

Geographical Indications having issued 43920 patents during the

year 2012-13, returns as prescribed under Form-27 has been

received only in 27946 cases; and, shockingly, the disclosure is

only of 6201 patents as being worked by the patentees.

6. The petitioner appears to have addressed a query under the

Right to Information Act, 2005 seeking information as to the action

taken against the patentees/licensees in case of non-submission of

Form-27 .. The respondents have responded to the query on

09.01.2014 stating that no action has been initiated for non­

submission ofForm-27.

7. The second glaring instance of non-compliance with the

statutory scheme of the Patents Act, 1970 is highlighted by the

petitioner in respect of grant of , a compulsory licence to M/s

NATCO Pharma in relation to patent no.215758 by order dated 9th

March, 2012 in C.L.A. No.1 of 2011 under Section 84 of the

Patents Act.

It is pointed out that the order dated 91h March, 20 12

imposed an obligation on NATCO Pharma in Para 15(b) thereof, to

report accounts of sales to the Controller on a quarterly basis, on or

before the 15th of each succeeding month.

8. By the RTI query dated 19th January, 2015, the petitioner

sought inter alia information as to whether Mls NA TCO Pharma

had complied with the above condition imposed in para 15(b) ~f

the order dated 9th March, 2012. The petitioner also queried the

Controller Gen~ral of Patents, Designs, Trademarks and

Geographical Indications regarding the action in case M/s NATCO

Pharma had failed to comply with the said requirements. . th

9. In its response dated 6 February, 2015, the Patent Office

informed the petitioner that as per its records "no details are

available".

10. Our attention is also drawn to yet another statutory non­

compliance. Ld. counsel for the petitioner also points out that

Section 146(2) read with Rule 131 of the Patents Act, 1970 makes

it mandatory even upon licensees to submit Form-27 containing

information on commercial working of the patented invention.

Section 146 of the Patents Act, 1970 draws no distinction between

the original patentees ·and license holders. Thus, it has been

pointed out by the petitioner that license holders are also required

to file the same information in Form-27 as a patentee.

11. Vide the response dated 1ih March, 2014, the Controller of

Patents & Designs, CPIO has informed the petitioner to the effect

that "Form-27 are filed by Patentee only". There is certainly

substance in the objection of the petitioner that this position is

contrary to the statutory requirement.

12. Ld. counsel for the petitioner has also submitted that the

respondents are not taking any action for notional or incomplete

compliance with the provisions of Section 146 of the Act. In this

regard, an instance has ·been pointed out wherein Form-27 was

submitted by M/s Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson (Pub.) in

respect of patent no.203034 of 24th August, 1999. Against the

column wherein the patentee was required to disclose information

regarding "the licenses and sub-licenses granted during the year",

this patentee stated a8 follows:

13.

"As all the licenses are confidential in nature, the details pertaining to the same shall be provided under specific directions from the Patent Office. "

It is pointed out that so far as the grant of patents are

concerned, information in regard thereto is available on the website ·

of the Patents Office. All that the patentees submitting Form-27

are required to submit,· is the details of the licenses and sub­

licenses. This information certainly cannot .be termed

"confidential" and therefore, the Patents Office has to treat such

suppression as failure to comply with the requirements of Section

146 of the Patents Act, 1970 arid to take action against the

patentees who do not furnish the required information.

14. Ms. Pritha Srikumar, Advocate for the intervener has

submitted that the petitioner has also pointed out that Form-27

itself was extremely vague and the same deserves a relook by the

respondents. Mr. Srikumar would, therefore, contend that non­

compliance of such form cannot be faulted with.

15. In our view, this submission is erroneous inasmuch as there

can be no exemption from statutory compliance and that in case

any query in Form-27 could not be complied with, the person

submitting the return would be required to state so. So far as the

submission that Form-27 deserves a relook is concerned, we find

that in the counter affidavit, the official respondents have stated

Page 56: Natco Pharma Limited - SpicyIP

that they had issued a Notification dated 26th October, 2015 for a

proposed draft amendment of the Rules by "The Patents

(Amendment) Rules, 2015". The respondel).ts have also submitted

that the· san1e included amendments to Form-27 and the same has

been posted on the official website of the Department of Industrial

Policy and ·Promotion (DIPP). The counter affidavit says that

public comments have been invited.

16. This counter affidavit was filed on 7th December, 2015. We

are not informed as to what is the fate of the public notice issued by

the respondents or amendments to the said Rules. Mr. Amit
