Philip Morris Products S.A vs Deputy Controller Of Patents And ... on 17 April, 2026
A similar view was taken by the Calcutta High Court in ITC Limited
v. The Controller of Patents Designs and Trademark, MANU/WB/1167/
2025, wherein it was observed that in passing of the impugned order,
reliance of the three additional documents cited in the impugned order sans
providing an opportunity to the applicant to deal with the same neither in the
FER nor the hearing notices is both a serious procedural infirmity in the
impugned order as also a violation of principles of natural justice.
