In the whirlwind of events marking the patent landscape in India, we strive to keep you updated with our regular editions of the Patents Newsletter and bring you patents news from India fresh off the racks!

We begin with the news from the Indian Patent Office (IPO). First the good news! In its endeavor to deliver better services the comprehensive e-filing system has been upgraded with a new payment gateway that allows payments to be made through more than 70 banks. The IPO is also making significant strides towards its efforts to become more transparent and accessible and has started a facility called the 'Stock and Flow' that gives real time access of the work happening in all the four Patent Offices on the IPO website. It is purported to be the first of its kind amongst the IP offices across the world.

Copy, Right? ANI Media Pvt. Ltd. v. Open AI OpCo LLC

When an artificial intelligence system is trained on copyrighted news content, and later answers a user’s question using what it learned, has the law been broken? On 24th July 2026, the Delhi High Court answered that question, at least for now. In ANI Media Pvt. Ltd. v. Open AI OpCo LLC, Justice Amit Bansal declined to grant an interim injunction against OpenAI, holding, on a prima facie, interim stage view, that the company’s use of ANI’s news content to train its large language models (“LLMs”) falls within the fair dealing exception under Section 52(1)(a) of the Copyright Act, 1957
