By virtue of powers conferred on the High Court under Section 158 of the Patents Act, 1970, the Patents Rules are framed.
 

As the public notice states:

"In the last 10-15 years, the Delhi High Court has witnessed a high growth in the number of patent infringement actions filed before it related to various scientific and technological fields including pharmaceuticals, diagnostics, mechanical engineering, telecommunications, electrical /electronics, wind technology etc. The need for the present Rules has been felt due to the complexities that have arisen in dealing with patent suits and actions.

"The High Court of Delhi Rules Governing Patent Suits, 2021 shall govern the procedure for adjudication of all patent suits. The substantive provisions governing patent suits are contained in The Patents Act, 1970.
