Guidelines for Drafting Form-26 under the Patents Act, 1970:

Purpose and Usage:
Form-26 is used under the Patents Act, 1970, for the application seeking permission for the making, using, and exercising the invention for the purpose of government use. It allows the government to utilize a patented invention without the patentee's consent, typically in the interest of public health, national security, or other public interests.

Key Drafting Considerations:

Details of the Applicant/Patentee:
Clearly provide the full legal name, address, and relevant details of the applicant or patentee.

Invention Details:
Clearly mention the details of the patented invention, including the patent number, date, and a concise description of the invention.

Grounds for Government Use:
Articulate the grounds and reasons for seeking government use, such as public health emergencies or national security concerns.

Period of Requested Use:
Specify the duration or period for which the government seeks permission to use the patented invention.

Notarization and Signatures:
Ensure the form is properly notarized for legal validity. Signatures of the applicant or patentee must be included.

Common Mistakes to Avoid:

Incomplete Information:
Ensure all required details are complete and accurate to avoid processing delays or legal complications.

Vague Grounds for Government Use:
Clearly articulate the grounds for seeking government use, providing specific and justified reasons.

Incorrect Invention Details:
Verify and provide the correct details of the patented invention to avoid any discrepancies in the permission process.

Missing Notarization:
Ensure that the form is properly notarized, as the lack of notarization may impact its legal validity.

Non-compliance with Legal Requirements:
Adhere to the specific legal requirements and regulations related to Form-26 under the Patents Act, 1970, to ensure the form's enforceability.

Drafting Form-26 demands precision to allow for the government use of a patented invention while protecting the interests of the patentee. Adhering to these guidelines ensures a well-drafted document that facilitates the government use process, minimizing potential legal complications or disputes in patent matters.
