J. Nageswara Rao v.The State Of Madras
The petitioner challenged the classification of his patented medicine, 'Vitogen', as 'medicated wine' and the associated duties levied under the Madras Prohibition Act. The court examined the scope of the Act and various notifications regarding medicinal preparations. While upholding the liability of 'Vitogen' to pay a specific duty (Rs. 35 per proof gallon) under Notification No. 473, the court declared certain provisions of the Act, including Section 23(2) and Notification No. 941, as ultra vires and unenforceable.
Bhathey Sundara Rajan And Ors. v.A.A. Kuppusami Iyer And Anr.
The appeal concerned an infringement suit regarding the 'Amp hill Patent Loom.' The court addressed whether defendants could raise defenses beyond those specified in the Patents Act, particularly concerning lack of subject matter. Ultimately, the appeals failed because the defendants were unable to discharge the burden of proving prior use before the patent application date.
