the IPAB. The IPAB is empowered to hear appeals against the IP
office, revocations petitions against trademark and patent matters

patents or copyright or plant varieties, depending on the matter
that is being heard. However, there is currently no judicial member
to the Tribunal due to which hearings cannot be conducted.
