https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=457700 Delhi HC dismissed a petition challenging CCI's jurisdiction to investigate patent-related competition issues. The court held that Competition Act's Section 60 provides overriding effect but doesn't whittle down Patents Act provisions, while Section 62 ensures Competition Act operates in addition to other laws. The court found no irreconcilable conflict between both Acts, noting that while patentees can restrain infringement and impose reasonable conditions under Section 3(5) of Competition Act, such rights aren't unqualified. CCI has authority to determine whether agreements genuinely protect patent rights or include onerous conditions under protection guise. The court distinguished patent Controller's role from regulatory bodies like TRAI, finding CCI's administrative order reasonable and declining merits review at this stage. en-us Wed, 20 May 2020 00:00:00 +0530 Wed, 25 Sep 2024 23:06:41 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=457700 Delhi HC dismissed a petition challenging CCI's jurisdiction to investigate patent-related competition issues.
