At first, you aren\u2019t sure it will be a commercial success. After a year, however, your idea has exploded and children are using it all over the country. Then you are left with a fear: what if someone copies your idea and sells it? At this moment, you will care about patent law.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A patent is, by definition, a right given to stop a person from making, using, or selling an invention without the patentee&#8217;s consent. In India, besides Patent registration, the Patents Act 1970 and the relevant Rules govern all matters relating to enforcement and protection of Patent.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By 2025, the Indian patent system will improve with digital patent filing, fast-track patent examination, and harmonisation with the world patenting community. For inventors, getting a patent is not just to prevent other people from infringing on their invention, it is a way of adding lasting value to their business.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This article looks generally at the patent registration process in India, the required documents, the benefits and disadvantages of a patent, and important case law which shapes the jurisprudence of patent law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is a Patent?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A patent is a government recognition that your invention is a new invention, which means that no one else (individuals or companies) can make, use, or sell your invention without your permission.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Example from practice:<\/strong> The law firm assisted a client with a low-cost water purification system patent. The patent not only secured the invention but was a condition of the investor funding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who Can File a Patent in India?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Individual inventors such as startup founders and researchers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Companies or institutions funding the R&amp;D.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Assignees when inventors transfer rights.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Heirs or legal representatives of deceased inventors.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Case reference:<\/strong> <strong>V.B. Mohammed Ibrahim v. Alfred Schafranek (2009):<\/strong> The Madras High Court held that only the true inventor or their assignee can apply, stopping misuse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Patentable vs Non-Patentable: Don\u2019t Waste Time<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Patentable:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Inventions that are new.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Show inventive step (not obvious).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Have industrial application.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Not Patentable (Sections 3 &amp; 5):<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Farming or medical methods.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Discoveries of natural laws.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Atomic energy innovations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Case example:<\/strong> <strong>Novartis v.

How to get a patent in India?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>You must write an invention disclosure, carry out a patentability search, write the specification, file the application (either provisional or complete), get published, request to be examined, respond to objections, get a grant and pay annual renewals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. How long to get a patent in India?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The process usually takes 3-5 years. However, expedited examination options have begun in the Indian Patent Office to shorten this timeline for startups, small entities or women inventors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Is a provisional patent application valid in India?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>A provisional application gives you 12 months to file a complete specification. It secures an early priority date but must be followed by a complete application within the year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Imagine that you create a unique software-based game kit for children.
