It will be interesting to see the order of MHC, and to the exetnt to which it goes against what DHC has to say in Anvita Singh V. UOI.In re Anvita Singh, the DHC had acknowledged the importance of technical qualification for registration as a patent agent. As far as I remember, the court equated the job of a patent to a lawyer and explained the importance of technical qualification in presenting a case in front of the controller. Though the DHC, in Anvita Singh did not emphasize on the exetnt to which Advocates can dispose in front of a patent controller, the acknowledgment of the court about the importance of technical qualification has lot to say regarding the validity of such qualification to practice in front of a controller.
