What is a patent?

Patent is the intellectual property right available for devices and inventions. By obtaining a patent, the owner gets an exclusive right to manufacture and sell the patented device in the market without having a fear of anyone infringing the patent. Patenting also makes sure that the inventor gets recognition in the market for the invention.

It is very important for an inventor to file for a patent before the the invention reaches the public/consumers. Therefore, an inventor should never disclose information regarding the invention before a patent protection is obtained.

WHAT CAN BE PATENTED?

In India, any invention for which a patent is granted fore, must fulfil the following criteria-

  • Novelty – The new product or the process must be new to the market and should not have been published as a patent in India or in the World.
  • Inventive Step – The new product/process must contain a technically inventive step, which must not be apparent to a skilled person before its publication.
  • Industrial applicability – It is of the utmost importance that the invention has an industrial utility and helps in doing new things or fastening previous processes.

A patent cannot be obtained for a mathematical formula or a scientific theory. It can also not be obtained for creative/aesthetic works which can be protected by copyright.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF OBTAINING PERMANENT PATENT PROTECTION?

  • It protects the new device/process from being copied and makes it an intellectual property of the corporate/individual.
  • It provides legal protection against imitations.
  • It shows the potential of an inventor and attracts investments for the completion of the product.
  • The patent owner gets an exclusive right to transfer, license or sell the patent and conduct business using the patent, for at least 20 years.
  • It acts as an incentive for the upcoming inventors.

WHAT ARE THE TYPES OF PATENT APPLICATION?

  • Provisional application – Also known as a temporary application, a provisional application is filed when an invention has not been finalized. Early filing of a patent will prevent any other related inventions from being designated as prior art to the inventor’s application. This type of patent application is filed when an invention requires additional time for development.
  • Ordinary or Non-Provisional application – This type of application does not have any priority to claim or if the application is not filed in pursuance of any preceding convention application. A complete specification can be filed through:

    • Direct Filing: Wherein complete specification is initially filed with the Indian Patent Office without filing any corresponding provisional specification.
    • Subsequent Filing: Wherein complete specification is filed after the filing of the corresponding provisional specification and claiming priority from the filed provisional specification.
  • Convention application – The convention application is filed for claiming a priority date based on the same or similar application filed in any of the convention countries. To avail a status of the convention, an applicant must apply to the Indian Patent Office within a year from the date of the initial filing of a similar application in the convention country.
  • PCT international application – Though the PCT international application does not provide an international patent grant, it paves the way for the streamlined patent application process in many countries at one go.
  • The Patent Cooperation Treaty governs it and can be validated in up to 142 countries. Filing this application will protect an invention from being replicated in these countries.
  • PCT National application – This application is filed if the applicant discovers that he has come across an invention, a slight modification of the invention that has already been applied for or patented by the applicant. PCT National application can be filed if the invention does not involve a substantial inventive step.
  • Divisional application – An applicant may choose to divide an application and furnish two or more applications if a particular application claims more than one invention. The priority date for these applications is similar to that of the parent application.

WHAT ARE THE DOCUMENTS REQUIRED FOR PATENT FILING?

  • Application to grant the patent – Form-1
  • Complete Specifications – Form-2
  • Statement and Undertaking (regarding foreign applications) – Form-3
  • Declaration as to Inventorship – Form-5
  • Authorization of Patent Attorney (if required) – Form-26
