      abstract = {The 2005 Amendments to the Indian Patent Act expanded the  scope of patentability by (among other provisions) allowing  patenting of new substances brought about by incremental  innovations. What exactly is an ‘incremental innovation’?  And how does the amended Act alter the legal definition of  patentable subject matter and restructure the essential  criteria - utility, novelty, no prior publication, and  non-obviousness - around which patent law revolves?  This  masterful analysis of patent law in India, by two of  India’s most distinguished jurists, investigates thoroughly  the scope of the possible answers to these crucial  questions. Recognizing the character of the revolution  taking place in patent law globally under the regime of  multinational corporations - and India’s central role in  its development - Dr. Rao and Dr. Manjula Guru’s analysis  focuses on the patenting of substances arising out of  advances in biotechnology, genetically engineered products,  and computer-related devices. But they do not neglect the  practical details of application, registration, and  proceedings as constituted under the amended law; in fact,  this book is the most detailed and insightful procedural  and practice guide to the subject we have.},
