Dispute Summary
The appellant sought a patent for 'Hygiene Wash,' a skin care preparation using wood vinegar derived from the Rhizophora apiculata tree. The Controller rejected the application, but the High Court found that the invention possessed an inventive step by identifying guaiacol-free wood vinegar and determining the optimal concentration (18-22%) to selectively target harmful bacteria while preserving beneficial lactic acid bacteria.
