Patents Act, 1970
130. Removal from register of patent agents and
restoration
(1) The Central Government may remove the name of any person
from the register when it is satisfied, after giving that person a reasonable
opportunity of being heard and after such further inquiry, if any, as it thinks
fit to make-
(i) that his name has been entered in the
register by error or on account of misrepresentation or suppression of material
fact; or
(ii) that he has been convicted of any offence
and sentenced to a term of imprisonment or has been guilty of misconduct in his
professional capacity which in the opinion of the Central Government renders
him unfit to be kept in the register.
(2) The Central Government may, on application and on sufficient
cause being shown, restore to the register the name of any person removed there
from.
