An analysis of the rights of co-owners under Indian Patents Act is presented in the Article section of IPR Amicus January 2013 issue. Ratio decidendi section covers case law on trademark protection to marginally tweaked marks, relevance of prior use of mark in different jurisdiction and decision of the Indian Intellectual Property Appellate Board (IPAB) on inventive step when a suitable numerical range is selected from publicly known art. An interesting news nugget is the fight in UK courts over 'original' Greek yoghurt.
