An Indian court rejected on Monday 6 August 2007 a challenge by Swiss
drug firm Novartis to Indian law that denied patents for minor
improvements to known drugs. 

The court in the southern city of Chennai rejected the challenge saying
it had no jurisdiction on whether Indian patent laws complied with
intellectual property rules set by the WTO, as Novartis had questioned.
