Client has to make a request to the controller in Form 25 if he wishes to make the same patent application outside india.
The time within which controller would dispose of the request made under Rule 71 (1) would be 21 days from the date of filing such request.

Under Section 41, the decision of the controller is final in this regard & cannot be questioned in IPAB or any court on any ground whatsoever.

Dear Shama,
The advice which could be given to the client is to amend the specification and claims in a order so that they become irrelevant for the defance and atomic energy. This is all about modification of claims.
