Thus, while working examples are essential for demonstrating the
feasibility and workability of an invention, they do not define the
patent's scope. The scope is determined by the claims, which must
be interpreted in light of the description and any examples provided.
The reasoning for applying Section 3(i) of the Act to the subject
application is therefore, misplaced. Mr Banerjee also relies on the
decision of this Court in Societe Des Produits Nestle SA v. The
Controller of Patents and Design and Anr.,2 where, in a similar
situation, the Court referenced the Manual of Patent Office, Practice

3(i) of the Act. In the present case as well, the claim 1, as defined, in
the opinion of the Court, does not render the application to be non-
patentable."
