A researcher's patent application was rejected after a lengthy process. The decision to deny the patent was made in July 2025. This came after the application was initially filed in August 2013.

The researcher, Dr Tarkeshwar Patil, then sought help from a higher authority. Further details about the case are available from the source.

The high court has now intervened in the matter, providing relief to the researcher. The specifics of the invention and the court's decision are not provided here, but can be found in the original report.
