I had previously blogged on the decisions not being downloadable/ readable, here.
Now that decisions are readable and downloadable, I thank the entire Patent Office staff who have put efforts behind this venture. This effort will go a long way in training/ educating IP professionals on how to approach and fight patent oppositions.
A thank you is also due to the large number of IPR professionals and Institutions [notably FICCI] that have constantly rallied and communicated about IP transparency and education to the Patent Office.
I hope that the other suggestions/ recommendations by these professionals/ FICCI are also implemented. Readers who would like to put in suggestions can get in touch with Ms. Sheetal Chopra
TEST: I tried searching for opposition decisions from Ranbaxy as applicant using Internet Explorer
I was able to download some decisions [as .pdf files], when clicked on application number hyper-link, while some hyper links for decisions did not give the .pdf file.
