Patent Registration

An Overview:

Patents are awarded to people who produce innovations or make significant improvements to existing products, as well as to those who discover new manufacturing processes. For a limited time, patents grant exclusive rights to manufacture an item or to develop a process to make a new article. A patent filing in India expires after which anybody can use that invention A patent protects the invention from being copied and used without permission. If a patent is to be granted, the procedure or product must be original, novel, useful, and industrially applicable, so an assessment is conducted to make sure they are original, novel (not previously published), and industrially applicable (fit for commercial use). A similar invention or item is found by searching the country’s intellectual property authority database

  • Detailed specification (in English)
  • Sketch(es)
  • Inventors’ names, addresses, and nationalities
  • An attorney’s power of attorney (used when a patent agent applies)

  • Why Is A Patent Search Essential?


    There are thousands of patent filing applications filed annually with the patent authorities. However, not every patent application is granted. A similar invention/application or method makes it impossible to distinguish it from other similar inventions/applications or methods.

    As an example, pharmaceutical companies in India file patents every year for the products they develop through their research and development departments, as well as for methodology for formulating or obtaining active ingredients.

    They are not considered groundbreaking, so they are not eligible for registration. Thus, before applying for a patent, one should search for patents or applications that are similar to the invention before starting the patent process.

    An Article Published In A Reputable Journal

    During the patent application process, please provide as much information as possible about the invention, including its uses, advantages over existing products and processes, and, if applicable, its publication in a reputable journal.


    Patent Search

    In response to your request, a GB Legal Associates legal specialist will conduct a thorough search of our database. If the innovation is broad, if it applies to different industries, and if there are similar products/processes, then a more lengthy search is needed. The patent application process will begin once our patent search confirms the newness of the product or procedure you're creating.


    Filing a patent application

    Filing a patent is an important part of patenting. The entire process specification must be completed by an expert. It is wise to seek expert assistance when drafting a patent application, as it is an art. The individual wishing to file a provisional patent application should do so at the beginning of their research and development process.


    Preparing patentability report

    A patentability report. In this regard, a patent application must be accompanied by all the specified documents.


    Publication of patent application

    This is followed by the publication of the patent application in the Patent Journal within 18 months. A patent can be filed early if the prescribed fees are paid with the request


    Patents published after filing

    Until a patent application is published in the Patent Journal, the Indian patent office retains all applications as confidential. It is not necessary to raise a request to publish a patent, it happens automatically after 18 months after filing applications.


    Examining patent applications

    A formal request for a patent examination would be made within 48 months of the patent's first filing. The patent office will treat the application as withdrawn if the applicant fails to file within the specified time frame. After conducting a thorough investigation, the examiner issues a first examination report called patent prosecution.


    Objections to patents

    Patent applications are also subject to objections, so you must analyze the patent examination report and respond correctly to those objections


    Patent issuance

    A granted patent is published in the Patent Journal once all patentability requirements have been satisfied.



    Examining And Publishing Applications

    Publication of application

    The general public shall be eighteen months from the date the application is filed or the date the application receives priority, whichever is earlier. It is provided that the Controller must generally publish a notification in the journal within one month following the expiration of the previous period, or within one month following the date of a request for publication under rule 24A.

    Request for publication

    An application for publication under section 11A, paragraph (2), should be submitted in Form 9.



    An Application For A Patent Is Made By A Corporation

    You can apply for a patent as an individual, a partnership firm, a limited liability company, or a corporation. However, they are incapable of inventing, and thus cannot be considered as ‘Inventors’. Hence such organizations are eligible to apply for a patent under the Indian Patents Act, 1970, as assignees of inventors.

    Customers may see a product as more valuable and more appealing when it has a patent on it. If your invention is used illegally, a patent will protect it against that. Your inventions are yours alone, so no one else will be able to copy them, manufacture, or sell them once they are already patented.
