Consideration for project-specific designs, drawings and related deliverables was held to be an outright transfer of those documents and the associated project intellectual property, not payment for the use of, or right to use, a design. Article 12(3) of the India-UAE DTAA was interpreted as covering only use-right payments, so sale or transfer receipts fell outside royalty.

The receipt was therefore not taxable as royalty in India and the contrary assessment was set aside.
