Revocation of patents under the Indian Patents Act, 1970 serves as an essential mechanism to ensure that patent rights are granted and maintained only for inventions that genuinely satisfy the legal requirements of novelty, inventive step, and industrial applicability. It acts as a corrective tool to eliminate invalid patents that may have been granted erroneously or have become untenable over time. The Act provides multiple methods through which a patent can be revoked, reflecting a balance between the rights of patentees and the interests of the public. One of the primary methods of revocation is through a petition filed before the Intellectual Property Appellate Board (IPAB), which has now been replaced by the High Courts following the Tribunals Reforms Act, 2021. Under Section 64 of the Act, any person interested or the Central Government may file a revocation petition before the appropriate High Court. The term “person interested” has been interpreted broadly to include individuals or entities engaged in or promoting research in the same field as the patented invention, thereby ensuring that competitors and stakeholders can challenge invalid patents.
