Dispute Summary
This Delhi High Court order addresses complex procedural issues arising from concurrent litigation between Boehringer Ingelheim Pharma and The Controller of Patents. Specifically, the court examined whether a revocation petition remains maintainable even if the patentee has already raised an invalidity defence in an infringement suit. Furthermore, the bench deliberated on the highly arguable question of whether a patent can be revoked after its term has expired by efflux of time. The court decided to list the matter for further hearing and stayed the impugned order.
