Choose your answer
1. Renewal fees shall not be paid for the Patent of addition.
2. Renewal fees shall not be paid for the Patent granted for Divisional application.
Answer and explanation
Correct answer A
Section 55(2) of the Patents Act, 1970 provides that "No renewal fees shall be payable in respect of a patent of addition", unless it becomes an independent patent. A patent granted on a divisional application under section 16 is an independent patent, with its term counted from the parent's filing date, and renewal fees are payable on it, so Statement 2 is false.
