Ipblogger salutes the author. The book would be very beneficial to the IPR community who has strong interest in Patent systems in India.

He was involved in Novartis litigation at the Madras HC. The book serves to ascertain the effect of pre-grant oppositions on the quality of Indian patents and by extensions the quality of innovation in India.
The book consists of number of case studies, with the one being the controversial TVS-Bajaj dispute which cost TVS Rs. 120 crores in losses.The focus of the book however remains on the legalities of the pre-grant opposition mechanism. The interesting feature of this book is that it tries to overcome the nuances and hurdles during the pre-grant opposition.
Ipblogger would solely recommend this book to all those IP professionals be it lawyers, policy-makers, students, academics, in-house counsels and management level executives who have interest in pre-grant opposition. Mr. Feroz has explained the criticalities in a very simplified manner so that a common person can understand the opposition perspective. Ipblogger feels that the abovesaid book would surely be an instrumental path to understand the complex IP system of India.
