....also known as Aspirin) falls under Schedule W of the Drugs and Cosmetic Rules, 1945 and therefore, in view of Rule 96 (1) (i) B can be marked only under generic name. Accordingly, the appellant with effect from April 98 discontinued the use of the said device/monogram on the packing of the said medicament and started marketing the same under the generic name only, namely Acetyl Salicylic Acid with the abbreviation (acronym) thereof ASA written in bracket in simple capital letters. Accordingly, the appellant treated this medicament as other than patent or proprietary medicament and filed a classification declaration of such goods under Chapter Heading 3030.20 which attracts Nil rate of duty for some period and thereafter lower rate of duty as compared to rate applicable to patent or proprietary medicament falling under Chapter sub-heading No.3003.10. The case of the department is that after the word Acetyl Salicylic Acid with the abbreviation (acronym) mentioned i.e. (ASA) is brand name of the appellant, therefore, it falls under the category of P & P medicament and correctly classifiable under Chapter sub-heading 3003.10. Accordingly, a demand of differential duty was raised agains....

....1998 Delhi 126 wherein it was held that abbreviation if used in any generic name will remain as a generic and merely by using abbreviation, on such abbreviation no-one can have sole right. He further submits that the show-cause notice alleged that the abbreviation "ASA" is the trade name of the appellant whereas the adjudicating authority has gone beyond the scope of show-cause notice and also included that package bear the name 'GR' which is otherwise a house name and the product become branded. In this regard he submits that firstly the medicament was marketed as "Acetyl Salicylic Acid Tablets IP 50 MG (ASA)". The word 'GR' was mentioned with the name of the company i.e., German Remedies Ltd., which is nothing but a house name, the same is not a brand name. The word "GR" is not suffixed or prefixed with the name of the medicament appeared on package of the medicament. As regards the use of house name, the Hon'ble Supreme Court in the name of Astra Pharmaceuticals (P) Ltd - 1995 (75) ELT 214 (SC) held that house name does not amount to affixing the brand name, hence such medicament does not qualify as P & P medicament. He also made submission on limitation. He subm....

.... such case the appellant has no proprietary right on the word "ASA", which stands for "Acetyl Salicylic Acid". The definition of P & P medicament, which is provided under Note (i) and (ii) of Chapter 30 of CETA reads as under: 2. For the purposes of the heading No.30.03, (i) `Medicaments' means goods (other than foods or beverages such as dietetic, diabetic or fortified foods, tonic beverages) not falling within heading No.30.02 or 30.04 which are either : (a) products comprising two or more constituents which have been mixed or compounded together for therapeutic or prophylactic uses; or (b) unmixed products suitable for such uses put up in measured doses or in packing for retail sale or for use in hospitals. (ii) "Patent or proprietary medicament s" means any drug or medicinal preparation, in whatever form, use in the internal or external treatment of or for the prevention of ailments in human beings or animals, which bears either on itself or on its container or both, a name which is not specified in a monograph, in a Pharmacopoeia, formulary or other publications, namely: a) The Indian Pharmacopoeia b) The Inter....

....t was using the name "Liv. 52" and the respondent was using" Liv-T". The issue for consideration was whether word "Liv" can be considered as brand name of "S.B.L Ltd". Consequently, the respondent Himalaya Drugs whether entitled to use the same name, i.e. "Liv-T". The Hon'ble Court held that Liv is an abbreviation of organ liver. Therefore, it is a generic name and cannot be claimed as a trade mark by a particular person. We find that the ratio of this judgement is applicable in the facts of the present case also. As per the observation made hereinabove, we are of the clear view that the name of the medicament, i.e. "Acetyl Salicylic Acid" Tablets IP 50 MG "(ASA)" is not a brand name and it is a generic name therefore, it does not fall under the definition of P & P medicament. Accordingly, classification claimed by the appellant as medicament other than P & P under Chapter Heading 3003.20 is held to be correct. As regards the issue on limitation, we find that the appellant before manufacturing and clearance of the goods in question filed the classification declaration along with the label of the product on 02/04/98, therefore, the entire facts was before the department. Hence, it c....

....e initial treatment of vari- ous cardiovascular disorders. [³) ASA is a white, crystalline, weakly acidic substance. The European Pharmacopeia 8.0 (Ph. Eur. 8.0) states that ASA is slightly soluble in water (according to Ph. Eur. 8.0 Gen- eral Notes, 100-1000 ml of solvent per gram of solute). [4] The United States Pharmacopoeia (USP) describes its solu- bility as being one part solute in 300 parts solvent (water). [5] Review of the data published on the solubility of ASA reveals that the solubility data vary from study to study or that the sample preparation method was not always appro- priate or described clearly. Its acid dissociation constant (pKa) has variously been reported as 3.50 and 3.49. [7] The main aims of the present study were to examine wheth- er the solubility and partition coefficient of ASA are affect- ed by the pH value of the medium; to determinate the place in the human digestive system where ASA is absorbed after oral administration and to compare obtained results with results from previous studies. Material and methods [3] ASA pharmaceutical substance was used without further purification. M....

....i- um concentration of the substance in the solution above the precipitate, a further addition of the solid phase will not lead to an increase in the concentration of test substance in the solution. This equilibrium concentration of the test sub- stance in solution is defined as its solubility. To ensure ob- taining saturated solutions, solutions were made by dissolv- ing 500,00 mg of ASA in 30 ml of medium (based on litera- ture data for solubility of the ASA, given in reference 1) and shaken on IKA KS 260 laboratory shaker, United States of America, during 60 minutes at 230 rpm. Samples were fil- tered through a 0.45 μm pore size syringe filter and diluted with a solvent in ratio 1:100. Absorbance was measured and concentration calculated using equations obtained by exam- ination of stock solutions. For partition coefficient determining, the classical shake- flask method was used. Same buffers as ones in determining solubility were used as a polar phase. For an organic phase, chloroform was used. In 50 ml of polar medium 70,00 mg ASA was dissolved using an ultrasonic water bath. Solu- tions were transferred to funnels....
