INDIAN PATENT AGENT EXAMINATION TRAINING 2026-2027
The Indian Patent Agent Examination has evolved into a comprehensive and rigorous assessment, reflecting the expanding scope and complexity of intellectual property practice in India. The syllabus has been significantly widened with the objective of enhancing the professional competence, legal understanding, and global perspective of aspiring patent agents. In view of this expansion, structured and expert-led training has become indispensable for young professionals seeking to successfully clear the examination and build a robust career in patent practice.
A thorough preparation for the Patent Agent Exam requires in-depth knowledge of substantive patent law, procedural rules, international treaties, regulatory frameworks, and emerging policy legislations that directly impact innovation, technology transfer, and intellectual property administration in India. Mere familiarity with statutory provisions is insufficient; candidates must also develop clarity in interpretation, application, and jurisprudential reasoning.
Accordingly, comprehensive training under experienced Patent Law experts is essential to master core legislations such as the Patents Act, 1970 and Patent Rules, allied IP laws including Design law, and international filing mechanisms under the Paris Convention, Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT), and the Budapest Treaty. In addition, modern patent practice increasingly intersects with specialized regulatory regimes such as biodiversity law, administrative reforms, and sector-specific legislations, necessitating awareness of statutes like the Biological Diversity Act and Rules, the Jan Vishwas Act, and the SHANTI Act, 2025.
This integrated and multidisciplinary approach ensures that candidates are not only examination-ready but also professionally equipped to handle patent drafting, prosecution, international filings, compliance requirements, and advisory roles in a rapidly evolving innovation ecosystem.

Plaintiff to approach the Court with ‘clean hands’, Delhi High Court Imposed Rs.5,00,000/- cost on the Plaintiff
The Delhi High Court, in a recent decision dated 14 December 2023, emphasized that those approaching the Court must do so with 'clean hands' while adjudicating an application for an interim injunction in a patent infringement suit between Freebit AS (‘Plaintiff’) and Exotic Mile Private Limited (‘Defendant’). The court dismissed the application, imposing costs of INR 5 lakh on the Plaintiff for failing to disclose the invalidation/refusal of corresponding foreign patents in various jurisdictions.
The patent infringement suit involved the Plaintiff's granted patent (IN 276748) titled 'Improved Earpiece.' The Plaintiff failed to report the revocation of the corresponding European patent and misrepresented the status of other foreign patents in the application. The Plaintiff sought an interim injunction on the first hearing date, claiming royalties from licensees like Boat, JBL, Skullcandy, and Harman.
Defendant argued that the information provided by the Plaintiff regarding corresponding patents was inaccurate and false, citing decisions from the European Patent Office, the UK High Court of Justice, the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB), and the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (CAFC).
The Court, referring to the High Court of Delhi Rules Governing Patent Suits and the Civil Procedure Code, emphasized the obligation for the Plaintiff to disclose details of corresponding foreign patent applications and any related court orders. The Plaintiff's inaccurate representation of the patent statuses in the suit raised questions about the accuracy of the information.
Relying on precedent cases like Satish Khosla and Arunima Baruah, the Court stressed the importance of approaching the Court with 'clean hands' and the impact of suppressing material facts on the right to equitable relief. The Court found the Plaintiff's failure to disclose revocations or invalidations of corresponding foreign patents as material suppression and misrepresentation of facts.
Analyzing the prerequisites for an interim injunction, the Court noted the absence of a prima facie case due to the patient's susceptibility to revocation. It also highlighted the balance of convenience and potential irreparable injury to the Defendant, leading to a denial of the interim injunction. The Court considered the conduct of the parties, following the Gujarat Bottling decision, and concluded that the Plaintiff was not entitled to any interim injunction.
Despite denying the injunction, the Court allowed the Plaintiff's counsel to verify the Defendant's cited decisions. If the information asserted by the Defendant is found incorrect, the Plaintiff may seek revival of the injunction application.
