The HC also imposed a fine of Rs 1 lakh on Google for not revealing true facts and for its failure to disclose information regarding the refusal of a patent by the European Patent Office (EPO) for lack of an inventive step.<\/p>\n

\u201cConsidering the submission made that the EPO application was abandoned and coupled with the fact that the corresponding EU application for the subject patent comprised of not one but two applications, including a divisional application, and that they both were rejected for lack of inventive step, in the present appeal costs are also liable to be imposed. The Appellant in the present appeal not only presented wrong facts to the Court, but also failed to disclose the information regarding the refusal of the EU parent application as also of the divisional application which was filed consequently,\u201d the judge said.<\/p>\n

According to the judgment, while the patent application provided a specific implementation of user preferences for mirroring instant messaging sessions, the core concept of managing sessions across multiple devices and theflexibility of using user-defined settings for messaging session were already present in the prior art document. <\/p>\n

\u201cMoreover, when the actual manner and method of mirroring is already enabled, the same cannot be held to be inventive, merely by making the process automatic unless a negative preference is chosen by the user,\u201d it added.<\/div>\n
