Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the dispute between Dr. Aloys Wobben and Enercon India Limited regarding the unauthorized use of patents and intellectual property rights after the termination of the intellectual property license agreement dated 29.9.2006. The Court emphasized that the continued use of the appellant's patents by the respondents post-termination constituted a violation of intellectual property rights, thereby establishing the principle that unauthorized use of patented technology is actionable. The Court upheld the appellant's claim for protection of his intellectual property rights, reinforcing the importance of adherence to licensing agreements under the Patents Act, 1970.
