The alleged patent application claims the usefulness of a hot water extract of a Liliaceae plant (Aloe barbadensis) for the treatment of visceral fat accumulation as novel. However Aloe barbadensis (Liliaceae family) has been used for the treatment of Obesity through oral administration in the Indian system of medicine since long, as is evident from exhibits cited from the book namely Bayaaz-e-Kabir, Vol. II by Mohammad Kabiruddin(Unani,Exhibits, pg no 4-6),Rasendracintamanaih by Dundukanatha (Ayurveda,Exhibit:2, pg no 7-9), Rasatantrasarah Evam Siddhaprayogasamgrahah;-part (Ayurveda,Exhibit:3, pg no 10-12), Rasayoga Sagara (Ayurveda, Exhibit 4, pg no 13-15), Rasayoga Sagara (Ayurveda,Exhibit:5, pg no 16-19), Rasaratnakarah -Rasendra khandam (Ayurveda,Exhibit:6, pg no 20-25), Rasakamadhenu Samhita by Cudamani (Ayurveda,Exhibit:7 pg no 26-28). In addition to the aforesaid references, some other references also exist in TKDL wherein Aloe barbadensis has been used in combination with few other ingredients for the treatment of obesity. Hence, the said application is not novel as per the cited prior art and does not involve any inventive step, therefore cannot qualify for the grant of patent rights.”
