The Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT), Ministry of Commerce and Industry (MoCI) has issued the draft rules to further amend the Patent Rules, 2003 (Draft Patent Rules) on July 16, 2025. The deadline for submitting inputs to DPIIT is August 17, 2025.

 

The Draft Patent Rules come in the wake of the Patent (Amendment) Rules, 2024 and the Jan Vishwas (Amendment of Provisions) Act, 2023, which rationalised various provisions (namely, offenses under s.120, s.122, and, s.123) under the Patents Act, 1970. Further, the Jan Vishwas Act also lays down a new adjudicatory (s. 124A) and appellate process (s. 124B) under Patents Act. Now, the Draft Patent Rules provide specific details on these adjudicatory and appellate processes.

 

Nasscom has previously submitted its feedback on Draft Patent (Amendment) Rules, 2023 (see here), highlighting several procedural aspects (see here) to facilitate EoDB.

 

In case the above is of interest to you, kindly reach out dhananjay@nasscom.in and sudipto@nasscom.in, latest by August 13, 2025 (Wednesday). We’re also happy to get on a call to discuss your inputs.
