What is Patent Registration in India?

Patent registration can be obtained in India for an invention. A patent is a right granted to an individual or enterprise by the government that disallows others from making, using, selling, or importing the patented product or process without approval or consent.

Patent filing is the primary step an inventor initiates to protect his or her invention from being misused. Patent filing in India is a tedious process, but it can be done quickly with proper guidance and support. An individual who wishes to secure a patent should get a consultation from expert patent practitioners.

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.

Who can file a patent application?

A patent registration application for an invention can be made by any of the following people either alone or jointly with any other person:

  1. The true and first inventor
  2. True and first inventor’s assignee
  3. The representative of the deceased true and first inventor his / her assignee

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.

  1. In the case of a proprietorship firm, the application should be made in the proprietors’ name.
  2. In partnership firms, the names of all personally responsible partners must be included in the patent application.

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.

What can be patented?

he Patent Act states that for an invention to be patentable, the invention must be a new product or process that involves an inventive step and can be used in the industry. For an invention to obtain patent registration, it should be technical and meet the following criteria-

If the application is filed with the provisional specification, the complete specification must be filed within 12 months of the first application date.

Convention Application: The Paris convention, 1883, on patent the contracting countries have recognized the value of first disclosure of patent or “Prior Art”, and in case of international applications, an applicant can file a patent within 12 months of filing the first application, and the previous disclosure shall not be considered as prior art for the subsequent country application
