Application for Patent Registration is a legal process by which an inventor can obtain exclusive rights to their invention for a specified period of time. In India, the patent registration process is governed by the Patents Act, of 1970, and administered by the Indian Patent Office
To apply for patent registration in India, an inventor must submit a patent application to the Indian Patent Office either online or in person. The application must include a detailed description of the invention, as well as any supporting documents or drawings that may be necessary to understand the invention.
It is important to note that patent registration is not automatic and can be a lengthy process. The Indian Patent Office examines the application to ensure that the invention meets the criteria for patentability, including novelty, non-obviousness, and industrial applicability.
Once the patent is granted, the inventor has exclusive rights to their invention for a period of 20 years from the date of filing the patent application.
