available for file inspection?
Until now, parties requesting file inspection in India were provided only with the specification as filed, even if it had since been amended. IP India's Office Order No. 01/2010, published on 12 January 2010, now clarifies how Rule 27 ('Inspection of published applications') of the Patents Rules 2003 is to be interpreted, namely that parties are to be provided with the specification (as filed or as subsequently amended) which is valid when the request under Rule 27 is filed.
