Sections 35 to 42 make certain provisions for secrecy of
certain inventions. Where in respect of an application for a patent, it appears
to the Controller that the invention is one of a class notified to him by the
central government as relevant for defence purpose, then he may give directions for
prohibiting or restricting the publication of information with respect to the
invention or the communication of such information to any persons specified in
the directions. However the Controller shall revoke the directions if the
central government feels that the publication of the invention would no longer
be prejudicial to the defence of India.
Further, if in respect of an application for a patent
any person contravenes any direction as to secrecy given by the Controller, the
application for patent shall be deemed to have been abandoned and the patent
granted, if any, shall be liable to be revoked.
