What is a Patent?

A patent is an exclusive right granted to an inventor or assignee for a new invention, which provides a new way of doing something or offers a new technical solution to a problem. Patents protect intellectual property, allowing inventors to prevent others from making, using, or selling their invention without permission for a certain period.

Why Patent Your Invention?

  • Exclusive Rights: Obtain legal protection to exclusively use, manufacture, and market your invention.
  • Competitive Advantage: Prevent competitors from using your patented technology, giving you an edge in the market.
  • Monetization Opportunities: License or sell your patent to generate revenue.
  • Market Positioning: Enhance your company’s image as an innovator and leader in your industry.
  • Investment Attraction: Attract investors and partners by showcasing your patented technology.

Eligibility Criteria for Patent Registration

To be eligible for patent registration, your invention must satisfy the following criteria:

  • Novelty: The invention must be new and not previously disclosed to the public.
  • Inventive Step: The invention must involve an inventive step that is not obvious to someone skilled in the field.
