Patent Registration in India

Patent Filing is the initial and most crucial step to obtaining an application for a Patent Grant in India. A novel and new Invention are patentable if not made known to the general public. We can assist you with Prior Art Searches in different areas, as well as the drafting of Patent Specifications, Filing and prosecution of regular Indian Applications or Under PCT.

The Meaning of Patent and Type of Patent Application

Patents grant exclusivity to the creator/owner of the Invention, which is as new products or in the form of improved or new industrial Processes. Patent registration in India is a significant task that requires years of experience and a solid technical understanding of the subject. To grant a patent, an application must be made for the Invention that is unique and novel but has not been disclosed before sending it to the offices of the patent controller in India.

The patent application is submitted with a technical description in the form of a Patent Specification. One of the primary factors that determine patentability are novelty and non-obviousness. There are three types of Patent applications that can be filed. Here's a quick overview of what Type of Patent Application.

Regular Indian Patent application The Ordinary Indian Patent Application is the most frequently filed application filed by an Indian inventor. The Invention is made public in the first instance before it is filed with the Indian Patent Office and can be filled with either a full or provisional specification. When the patent application has been filed using an initial specification, the complete specification must be filed within 12 months from the date of the initial application.

Convention Applications:

In The Paris convention of 1883 concerning patents, the parties have acknowledged the importance of the first patent disclosure (or "Prior Art," and in the case of international patents, the applicant can apply for a patent within 12 months from the date of making the first application, and the prior disclosure will not be considered prior art in the following country application.


PCT Applications:

Application for Patent Co-Operation Treaty provides an application procedure that allows for an international request for a patent grant that India can make for 152 countries in the contract. In the initial stage, the application is inspected by an international exam authority that the applicant chooses; the applicant may apply for the national phase.

Novelty:

A new invention eligible for grant of a Patent must be original and novel. When we refer to the novel, that means that the Invention or process must not be previously known in any document that was granted a Patent and published Patent or other literature or in open access. The best way to determine the novelty is to conduct a Patent Search, & we can conduct a top-quality patent search in every jurisdiction.

Invention Step:

The Invention must result from innovative technological advancement or inputs over the current knowledge or provide economic advantages over prior knowledge. It should not be anticipated by someone skilled in the same field. When an inventor can solve a problem with his Invention, and someone else can offer the exact solution with the knowledge he has acquired, the Invention will not be considered inventive.

Industrial Applications:

Section 2 (ac) of the Indian Patent Act clearly states that the Invention should be able to be used as a means of manufacturing in the form of goods or used as an industrial process. Also, the Invention must be abstract and have a practical benefit to the industry.

Nonpatentable Subject Matters:

The object of the Invention shouldn't be included in the list of nonpatentable Subject Matters according to sections 3 and 4 of the Indian Patents Act. We suggest that you go through the statute to find the complete list. A few of them are listed below.

Precedential Art Lookup for Patent Filing

Prior Art Searches can be performed to discover documents similar to the patent. Through performing Prior Art Searches for an invention, the creator will know whether the same or similar Invention is in use.

However, prior art research is not required in certain circumstances, such as when the patent application is submitted for publicity purposes or the company's marketing efforts without the intention of getting the patent granted, and it is not necessary.

Prior Art Search is non-essential. But, prior art searches are essential if the invention to the company or significant resources have been utilized in the research and development of the new process or product or process. Prior Art Searches become an essential requirement. In the same way, the amount that should be invested in the prior art is also contingent upon the purpose and nature of filing a patent.

A prior art search can be conducted through several databases in various jurisdictions to locate the exact as or similar to the Invention. Invention or can modify his idea to make it more original and therefore patentable. The prior art search may include the following.

  • Short-listing of keywords
  • A thorough search of databases

Drafting and filing of Patent Specification

A patent specification can be described as a technical document displayed in the public search once the patent is published. The examiner determines the patent application based on the patent specification and the claims. Therefore it is the primary document of the patent application in which the inventor provides all details about the Invention. Invention applications can file in India with a provisional specification or full specification. The application is considered complete when the patent is filed with its complete specification.

Provisional Specification of Patent: The patent application is filed with a Provisional Specification for claiming priority date before it is filed with the Patent Office. The application is made by the inventor whose time is needed to develop the Invention. The invention has come to the point where it can be released. The provisional specification doesn't include claims, and within 12 months after filing the preliminary specification, the entire specification must be filed.

Full Specification for Patent: The entire specification is a tech-legal document in which the inventor provides all the details about the Invention and the claims the inventor can make in the Invention. Invention specification should include the following information in the document.

  • Title
  • Field of Invention
  • Background
  • Summary
  • A Brief Description of Drawings
  • The Full Description
  • Abstract
  • Claim(s)
  • Drawings

It is important to understand that the Patent Specification is such an important tool that it can be used to benefit the patentee or against them; therefore, it shouldn't be left to chance or created by a novice. We've come across several instances where the inventor made the specification without assistance from a professional and could lose the Patent. The specification should be written keeping in mind the patenting process using technical and legal terminologies and abide by the requirements of the law on patents.
