The Indian Patent Office has taken a positive step in training/ educating and bringing transparency in regard to opposition of patent applications.
It has decided to put Opposition decisions on-line.
NOW, the Indian Patent Office decisions are available for every one to read and download.
Please visit this link on the Indian Patent Office's site.
Upon visiting the link, you will see a page that allows searching by 6 options:
a) Patent number;
b) Application number;
c) Applicant;
d) Opponent;
e) Controller &
f) Section number.
Now that decisions are readable and downloadable, I thank the entire Patent Office staff who have put efforts behind this venture. This effort will go a long way in training/ educating IP professionals on how to approach and fight patent oppositions.
TEST: I tried searching for opposition decisions from two Indian companies - Ajanta and Ranbaxy using Internet Explorer. I was able to download results, when clicked on application number hyper-link.
