There were no signs of let up in the war of words between Bajaj Auto and TVS Motor over use of patented technology in their motorcycles, with the Chennai-based company on tuesday claiming that it had delivered a copy of its patent revocation application to its rival. "As a matter of fair game, we have delivered to Bajaj Auto today a copy of patent revocation application, which we had filed with the Appellate Board of Patent Office in Chennai in August," TVS counsel Lakshmi Kumaran said.
He said although the revocation application was filed in August, it takes time for the Apellate Board to send notices and hence, TVS took upon itself to inform BAL about the same. However, it could not be confirmed from Bajaj Auto whether the company has received the revocation application.
Meanwhile, Bajaj CEO (two-wheeler) S. Sridhar said in a statement the company continued to be "anxious and prepared to defend its DTSi patent in the event of any attempted infringement, as it has done successfully in recent years". "This will be clearly and finally evident only if and when an offending product is actually launched," it said.
