      In India, the appeal mechanism in relation to various Intellectual Property Rights (IPRs) is established through specialized appellate bodies and procedures tailored to each type of IP right. Here's a brief overview of the appeal mechanisms for different IPRs:

      1. Patents:

        • The Intellectual Property Appellate Board (IPAB) was initially responsible for hearing appeals related to patents. However, as of 2020, the IPAB has been dissolved, and patent-related appeals are now directly filed before the Commercial Courts or High Courts, depending on the jurisdiction.
        • Appeals against the decisions of the Controller of Patents, such as refusal of patent applications, revocation, or cancellation of patents, are heard by the appropriate court. These appeals involve comprehensive review processes, including examination of legal and technical aspects of the patents in question.
      2. Trademarks:

        • Appeals related to trademarks are heard by the IPAB or the concerned High Court, depending on the jurisdiction and nature of the appeal.
        • The IPAB had jurisdiction over appeals against decisions of the Registrar of Trademarks, such as refusal of trademark registration, opposition proceedings, and trademark rectification or cancellation matters.
        • If dissatisfied with the decision of the IPAB or the Registrar of Trademarks, parties can further appeal to the High Court for judicial review.
      3. Copyrights:

        • The Copyright Board, established under the Copyright Act, 1957, previously handled appeals related to copyrights. However, the Copyright Board has been non-functional, and appeals now go directly to the concerned High Court.
        • Appeals may include disputes regarding copyright registration, licensing, infringement, and other related matters. Parties aggrieved by decisions of the Registrar of Copyrights or copyright disputes may file appeals before the High Court.
      4. Designs:

        • Appeals in design-related matters are filed before the IPAB or the concerned High Court, depending on the jurisdiction and nature of the appeal.
        • The IPAB had jurisdiction over appeals against decisions of the Controller of Designs, such as refusal of design registration, cancellation of design registrations, and rectification proceedings.
        • Parties dissatisfied with the decision of the IPAB or the Controller of Designs could further appeal to the High Court for judicial review.

      In summary, India provides a structured appellate mechanism for various intellectual property rights, including patents, trademarks, copyrights, and designs. The appeal process typically involves a comprehensive review of legal and technical aspects by specialized appellate bodies or the High Courts, ensuring fair adjudication and protection of the rights of inventors, creators, and rights holders. However, it's worth noting that recent changes, such as the dissolution of the IPAB, may impact the appeal procedures, and parties should stay updated on the latest developments in IP law and procedures in India.
