1. Legal representative means a person who in law represents the estate of a deceased person.
2. Legal representative means a person who files an application on behalf of the applicant.
Answer and explanation
Correct answer A
Section 2(1)(k) of the Patents Act, 1970 defines "legal representative" as "a person who in law represents the estate of a deceased person". A person who files an application on another's behalf is an agent or authorised person, not a legal representative. So Statement 1 is true and Statement 2 is false.
