Ramchand invented a medicine and was about to apply for a patent. However, he passed away before applying. Can his legal representative apply for the patent?

Section 6(1) (c) of the Patents Act, 1970 provides that an application for a patent for an invention may be made by the legal representative of any deceased person who immediately before his death was entitled to make such an application. Therefore, legal representative of Ramchand can apply for the patent.
