Overview

What is a Patent?

A Patent is an exclusive right granted by the government to an inventor for a limited period (20 years) in exchange for full public disclosure of the invention. It gives the patent holder the right to exclude others from making, using, selling, or importing the patented invention without permission.

In India, patents are governed by the Patents Act, 1970 and administered by the Controller General of Patents, Designs and Trade Marks (CGPDTM). The Patent Office has four branches - Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, and Kolkata.

To be patentable, an invention must be: (1) New/Novel - not known or published before; (2) Inventive Step - not obvious to a person skilled in the art; and (3) Industrially Applicable - capable of being made or used in industry.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Any invention - product or process - that is new, involves an inventive step, and is industrially applicable can be patented. Examples: pharmaceutical compounds, chemical processes, mechanical devices, electronic circuits, software embedded in hardware, biotechnology, agricultural innovations. The invention must not have been publicly disclosed before filing.
Section 3 of the Patents Act excludes: laws of nature and scientific discoveries, mathematical methods, mental acts, business methods, methods of treatment of humans/animals, plants/animals (other than microorganisms), traditional knowledge, software "per se" (software without technical effect), literary/artistic works, and inventions contrary to public order or morality.
A patent is valid for 20 years from the date of filing the patent application (not from the grant date). Annual renewal fees must be paid starting from the 3rd year to keep the patent in force. If renewal fees are not paid, the patent lapses and the invention enters the public domain.
A Provisional Specification is a preliminary document describing the invention in brief - used to establish a priority date early while the inventor continues development. Within 12 months of filing provisional, a Complete Specification with full description, drawings, and claims must be filed. A Complete Specification is the full, final document with all details, claims, and abstract ready for examination.
