Dispute Summary
Draka Comteq B.V challenged the refusal of its patent application for 'Multimode Fiber' by the Controller of Patents and Designs. The rejection was based on lack of novelty and inventive step under the Patents Act, 1970. The High Court found that the original order lacked proper reasoning regarding how a person skilled in the art would move from existing knowledge to the subject invention. Consequently, the court set aside the refusal and remanded the matter back to the Patent Office for fresh consideration.
