Can anyone please help me understand section 11(3) of Indian patent act 1970.
It says,
(3) Where the complete specification is filed or proceeded with in pursuance of two or more applications accompanied by such specifications as are mentioned in sub section(2) [I understood sub-section (2)] and the claim is fairly based on the matter disclosed-
(a) in one of those specifications, the priority date of that claim shall be the date of filing of the application accompanied by that specification;
(b) partly in one and partly in another, the priority date of that claim shall be the date of the filing of the application accompanied by the specification of the later date.
I can't understand sub-section (a) and (b).
Also, I am preparing for Patent Agent Examination. Is there any Patent Agent in Kolkata who could help in understanding the various sections of Patent Act by giving tuition. I was a science student and I am facing difficulty in understanding and interpreting the statutes.
