Co-Applicants (1) Dr Ashish of Lakshadweep Islands, and (2) Dr. Bhargav of Dadra & Nagar Haveli, wish to file an Indian patent application for a skin treatment regime under the Patents Act, 1970. Which Patent Office shall have the jurisdiction to receive the application?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

Chennai is the appropriate Patent Office on the residence facts supplied. For joint applicants, Rule 4 uses the first-mentioned applicant’s residence, domicile or business, or the place where the invention originated. Dr Ashish is listed first and resides in Lakshadweep, which falls within Chennai’s territorial jurisdiction; Dr Bhargav’s residence in Dadra and Nagar Haveli does not displace that basis.
