Discussion
Which one of the committee had examined the question of revision of patent law and advised the government in 1959 to retain the patent system in India, however recommended major changes in the law which formed the basis of the introduction of the Patents Bill, 1965 ?
Answer: B
It was the Justice N. Rajagopala Ayyangar Committee (printed 'Rajgopala').
Appointed in 1957, the committee under Justice N. Rajagopala Ayyangar submitted its report on the revision of patent law in 1959. It advised retaining the patent system but recommended major changes, such as process-only patents for food and medicines and shorter terms, which formed the basis of the Patents Bill, 1965 and the Patents Act, 1970.
The Bakshi Tek Chand Committee (1948-50) reviewed the old 1911 Act earlier. The Wolfenden Committee was a British inquiry on homosexual offences and prostitution, and Justice M.C. Chagla was associated with other inquiries, not patent reform.
