Which of the following is NOT an invention under Section 3 of the Patents Act, 1970?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer D

Section 3 excludes a substance obtained by mere admixture resulting only in aggregation of the components' properties, the mere arrangement or duplication of known devices each functioning independently in a known way, and a method of agriculture or horticulture, so all three fall outside the meaning of invention.
