    Patent Registration

    After the process of patent registration, one gets intellectual property right to an invention carried out by an individual or a firm. In case it is unique, the government will grant you the full right for your product. It grants you the full right of making, using, selling or importing the product or services and prohibits others from doing so. The patents in India are governed by the Patent Act 1970 and Patent Rules 1972.

    The lifetime of a patent is 20 years. This period is limited in most cases, but it could only be extended by the act of congress and in rare cases it could be extended for a few years.

    The patent could be for many things, be it process, art, method to manufacture, particular apparatus, machine, computer software, technical application, chemicals or drugs.

    Types of Patent Application in India

    Provisional Application - A provisional application, also known as a temporary application, is filed when an invention is still in the works and has not yet been finished. Any other relevant inventions will not be recognized as prior art to the inventor's application if a patent is filed early. When an invention requires more time to develop, this form of patent application is filed.

    Ordinary or Non-Provisional Application - An ordinary or non-provisional application application does not have any priority to claim or if the application is not filed in pursuance of any preceding convention application. A complete specification can be submitted via:

    Direct Filing - Wherein complete specification is initially filed with the Indian Patent Office without filing any corresponding provisional specification.

    Subsequent Filing - Wherein complete specification is filed after the filing of the corresponding provisional specification and claiming priority from the filed provisional specification.

    Convention Application - The convention application is filed for claiming a priority date based on the same or similar application filed in any of the convention countries.

    To avail a status of the convention, an applicant must apply to the Indian Patent Office within a year from the date of the initial filing of a similar application in the convention country.

    To re-iterate in simpler terms, a convention application entitles the applicant to claim priority in all the convention countries.

    PCT International Application - PCT international application does not result in an international patent grant, it open the way for a shortened patent application process in multiple nations at once.

    It is governed by the Patent Corporation Treaty, which can be validated in up to 142 nations. By filing this application, an innovation will be protected from being copied in these nations.

    PCT National Application - If the applicant discovers an innovation, or a modest modification of an invention, that has already been applied for or patented by the applicant, he must file this application. If the invention does not need a significant inventive step, a PCT National application can be filed.

    Divisional Application - If an application claims more than one invention, the applicant may choose to partition it and submit two or more applications. These applications have a priority date that is comparable to the parent application.
