Patent Registration
The Patent system in India is governed by the Patents Act, 1970 & The Patents Rules 1972. A patent is a grant by the India patent office that allows the patent owner to maintain a monopoly for a limited period of time on the use and development of an invention. This right excludes others from making, processing, producing using, selling, and importing the product or process in India without his consent. For an invention to be patentable in India, the invention must be a new product or process, involving an inventive step and capable of being made or used in an industry. Patent registrations have a validity of 20 years from the date of filing of patent application, irrespective of whether it is filed with provisional or complete specification.
Patent registration applications are handled by the The Patent Office, Controller General of Patents, Designs & Trade Marks. Patent application should be filed before publishing or disclosing the invention to public. Patent granted in India provides protection only in India. Therefore a patent owner cannot exercise his rights in a territory outside India. If an inventor wants protection in other countries then a separate application has to be filed for each country to obtain the worldwide right of patent over his product or process.
