    Question

    Bayer Corporation Vs. Union of India (2011) case is dealing with which subject matter?

    A.

    Evergreening of patent

    B.

    Grant and sealing of patent

    C.

    Working of patenting process

    D.

    Surrender and revocation of patent

    Correct option is C


    The case dealt with Section 84 of the Patents Act, 1970, which mandates that patented inventions must be worked in India. Bayer was challenged for not making its cancer drug (Nexavar) available at affordable prices in India. This led to the first compulsory license granted to Natco Pharma.
    Information Booster:
    · The ruling emphasized public interest and access to medicine over monopoly rights.
    · Clarified the interpretation of “reasonable requirements of the public not being met” and “non-working of patent”.
