CALCUTTA HIGH COURT UPHOLDS PATENT ELIGIBILITY AMID PUBLIC
HEALTH CONCERNS
In a significant ruling on April 30, 2025, the Calcutta High
Court in ITC Limited vs. Controller of Patents clarified the
balance between patent grants and public health measures. The court
emphasized that “patents are granted to encourage inventions
and ensure their commercial implementation in India without delay.
However, patent grants do not restrict the Central
Government’s authority to protect public health.”
