One Day Seminar on “SECTION 3(d): PROOF OF EFFICACY”

AIPS, Mumbai is going to organize a one day seminar of "SECTION 3(d): PROOF OF EFFICACY” focusing mainly on the efficacy part of section 3(d) of indian patent act.

Patent applicants are often faced with the unenviable task of proving efficacy vis-à-vis section 3(d) of the Indian Patents Act, 1970. This Seminar provides an opportunity to discuss and analyze recent important decisions at the Patent Office in this regard, and learn from the practice of the patent office as to what needs to be done to prove enhanced efficacy of a known drug. The focus will be on understanding the requirements of section 3(d), to know how efficacy is understood, what needs to be shown to prove or disprove enhanced efficacy, and on how to get over the common pitfalls that result in the failure to prove efficacy.
