  • Inventive Step: The invention should not be obvious to a person skilled in the relevant field, considering the existing knowledge or documents.
  • Industrial Applicability: The invention must have practical utility and be capable of being made or used in an industry.

Benefits of Patent Registration

  • Encouragement for Innovations: Patents act as incentives for inventors and encourage further innovations by granting exclusive rights to the inventor.
  • Protection against Competitors: Patent registration prevents competitors from copying, selling, or importing the patented invention without the owner’s permission.
  • Potential Revenue Source: Patents can be monetized by selling or licensing them to others. Patent holders have the option to generate income by granting licenses to other companies, allowing them to use the patented technology in exchange for royalties or fees.
  • Exclusive Rights and Control: Patent registration grants the owner exclusive rights to the invention for a specified period, typically 20 years from the filing date. This exclusive control allows the patent holder to decide how the invention is used, manufactured, or commercialized, providing them with a significant market advantage.
