Prof. Feroz Ali has released a free digital version of his landmark patent treatise, 'Ali on Patents', aimed at practitioners, judges, and students. The platform contains curated case law and commentary, with no AI-generated content.
Launch of Free Digital Patent Resource: 'Ali on Patents'
Professor Feroz Ali has launched an open-access online version of his authoritative treatise Ali on Patents (www.aop.onl), making comprehensive Indian patent law analysis freely available to legal professionals, patent agents, judges, and students. Originally published in 2007, the treatise is widely cited in IP circles for its clarity and depth.
The new digital platform features two types of content: curated judicial excerpts and original scholarly commentary, all written solely by Prof. Ali or sourced directly from court decisions. In a LinkedIn announcement, he emphasized that the site contains
no AI-written prose—only human analysis and authentic case text. This ensures reliability and citability in professional and academic work.
The resource is expected to enhance accessibility to Indian patent jurisprudence, especially for smaller firms and independent practitioners. With structured navigation and regular updates, 'Ali on Patents' is positioned to become a primary reference in IP litigation, prosecution, and policy drafting.
