A patent is an exclusive right granted for an invention, which is a product or a process that provides, in general, a new way of doing something, or offers a new technical solution to a problem. To get Patent Registration, technical information about the invention must be disclosed to the public in a patent application; both natural persons and corporate entities may apply for a patent.
The grant and enforcement of patents are governed by national laws, and also by international treaties. The exclusive right granted to a patentee in most countries is the right to prevent others, or at least to try to prevent others, from commercially making, using, selling, importing, or distributing a patented invention without permission.
Before a patent registration is obtained, a rigorous check is done on whether the product is innovative or novel and industrially applicable. An individual can search the intellectual property regulator of India's database to check if there is an object or invention that is the same or similar to the applicant's invention.
However, patent registrations are not applicable for all inventions, and the invention should satisfy specific criteria to obtain a patent in India.
A patent registration application for an invention can be made by any of the following people either alone or jointly with any other person:
According to the Patent Act, a "person " is any natural person, company, or association or body of individuals or government body, whether incorporated or not.
An Assignee can also be a natural person or other than a legal person such as a registered company, an LLP, Section 8 Company, an educational institute, or government.
The Applicant is required to disclose the name, address, and nationality of the true and first inventor.
To file a successful patent registration, you need to ensure that your invention idea is unique. Carrying a patent search will confirm this, and the individual can also avoid lengthy procedures.
Patent Filing is considered to be the most crucial aspect. The complete process specification is a specialized task that can be done correctly through expert advice.
Drafting a patent application is an art, and it will be wise to choose to seek expert help. If the individual is in the initial stages of research and development, it is best to file a provisional patent application.
The patent professionals or agents will then do extensive research and prepare the patentability report. Hence, the applicant should attach all the specified documents along with the patent application.
After this, the application is then published in the Patent journal within 18 months. Request for early filing of the patent can be made along with the prescribed fees.
Within 48 months from the patent's first filing, there would be a formal submission of a request for the patent examination. Suppose the applicant fails to file within the specific time, the application will be treated as withdrawn by the patent office. The examiner then conducts a comprehensive investigation and releases the first examination report called patent prosecution.
Patent applications also receive objections, so it is mandatory to analyze the patent examination report and draft a proper response to the objections.
Once all the patentability requirements are met, the grant patent's notification will be published in the Patent Journal.
