What is a Patent?

A patent is a state-granted legal right giving the holder exclusive authority to make, use, sell, or license an invention — usually for 20 years from the filing date in India.

• To be patentable, an invention must meet three criteria:
• Novelty: Must be new and not disclosed before the filing date.
• Inventive Step: Should involve a non-obvious technical advancement.
• Industrial Applicability: Must be capable of being manufactured or used in an industry.

Benefits of a Patent:

• Legally deter unauthorized use or replication of your invention.
• Build a valuable business asset that can be licensed or sold.
• Establish market credibility with investors and consumers.
• Gain competitive business advantage.
