Summary
- The Supreme Court has issued notice on a petition regarding the patent term in India, affirming it is counted from the filing date, not the grant date.
- This notice stems from a Calcutta High Court judgment that upheld this rule, with no findings made by the Supreme Court yet.
- The case, Gunjan Sinha v. Union of India, will return to court on 26 October 2026 for further proceedings.
- The implications of this ruling could significantly impact patent strategies for inventors and startups navigating the application process.
