What is a Patent?
A patent is an exclusive right granted by the Government of India for an invention, whether a product or a process. It allows the patent holder to stop others from making, using, selling or importing the invention without permission, for 20 years from the date of filing.
To be patentable, an invention must be new (novel), involve an inventive step (not obvious to an expert), and be capable of industrial application. If your invention is still being developed, you can file a provisional application to secure an early filing date, and then file the complete specification within 12 months.
