In agrochemical inventions, efficacy may include functional utility, environmental stability, resistance to crystallization, ease of application, and operational integrity during use. Improved thermodynamic stability that prevents clogging of spraying equipment at elevated temperatures may therefore constitute enhanced efficacy because it directly improves usability in field conditions. en-us Wed, 03 Jun 2026 08:51:21 +0530 Wed, 03 Jun 2026 08:51:21 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/article/detailed?id=16563 Section 3(d) of the Patents Act, 1970 is treated as a context-sensitive anti-evergreening provision whose concept of efficacy is not confined to therapeutic efficacy in every field.
