Dispute Summary
The petitioner filed a suit for piracy of a registered design in the District Court. The District Judge attempted to transfer this suit to the High Court, citing provisions applicable to patent infringement suits. The Madras High Court held that since the dispute related solely to a design (Part II of the Act), the provisions governing patent transfers were inapplicable, and thus the order of transfer was without jurisdiction.
