Blog Entry Patent Working Requirements and Complex Products: An Empirical Assessment of India's Form 27 Practice and Compliance
by Rohini Lakshané published Jul 17, 2017 last modified Oct 13, 2017 04:32 AM — filed under: , ,
India requires every patentee to file an annual statement, also known as “Form 27”, describing the working of each of its issued Indian patents. If a patent is not locally worked within three years of its issuance, any person may request a compulsory license, and if the patent is not adequately worked within two years of the grant of such a compulsory license, it may be revoked. The research paper on Form 27 practices and compliance by patentees authored by Prof Jorge L. Contreras, University of Utah, and Rohini Lakshané, Centre for Internet and Society has been accepted for publication in the NYU Journal of Intellectual Property and Entertainment Law.
