Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the issue of copyright infringement concerning the Advisor™ software, emphasizing the applicability of the International Copyright Order, 1999, which extends copyright protection to India under the Berne Convention. The Court held that the trial court's dismissal of the interim injunction application was erroneous, as the comparison of source and object codes of both parties' software was essential to determine infringement. The High Court's order to remand the matter for fresh consideration was upheld, ensuring that both parties provide their respective codes for expert analysis.
