Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed the appeal against the Calcutta High Court's order which set aside the Assistant Controller of Patents & Designs' cancellation of a design registration under the Designs Act, 2000. The Court held that the Assistant Controller failed to consider the visual appeal of the finished product, which is crucial in determining the originality of the design. The Court reinstated the Assistant Controller's decision, emphasizing the importance of visual effect in design registration under Section 51 of the Designs Act, 2000.
