Advantages of Permanent Patent in India
Exclusive Rights Over Your Invention
Patent registration grants the inventor the exclusive legal authority to prevent others from making, using, selling, offering for sale, or importing the patented invention without consent. This exclusive control allows the patent owner to license or assign the invention under negotiated terms and gives a competitive edge in the marketplace.
Legal Protection Against Infringement
With a registered patent, the inventor or their authorized entity can initiate legal action against anyone who uses or exploits the invention without permission. Infringement cases can be filed in a competent court (not lower than a District Court), empowering the patent holder to protect their intellectual rights effectively.
Revenue Through Licensing & Sale
A patent is a valuable intangible asset that can generate significant monetary returns. It can be licensed, assigned, or sold, allowing the inventor to earn royalties or profits. Industries like pharmaceuticals and biotech regularly generate substantial revenues through their patented innovations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Have questions before reaching out? Here are quick answers to some of the most common queries we receive about contacting us, consultations, and service inquiries.
Filing a patent grants you exclusive rights over your invention, preventing others from making, using, selling, or distributing it without your permission. If not protected, your innovation can be commercially exploited by others. Patent protection ensures you control how your invention is used and monetized.
If you're employed and developed the invention during your employment, it generally belongs to your employer. However, if there's no such agreement, you may file it in your own name. To avoid future disputes, it is advisable to obtain a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from your employer or institution—especially if their resources were used.
No, public disclosure before filing makes an invention ineligible for patent. However, Indian patent law offers a 12-month grace period in limited cases—such as exhibitions approved by the government or publications in learned societies—allowing you to file the patent within that timeframe.
**4. What are the criteria for patentability in India?
To qualify for a patent, your invention must meet the following conditions:
Novelty: It must be new and not known to the public.
Inventiveness (Non-obviousness): It should involve an inventive step that is not obvious to others skilled in the field.
Industrial Applicability: It must be capable of being used in some form of industry or utility.
Legal Eligibility: It must not fall under sections 3 or 4 of the Indian Patents Act, which define non-patentable subject matter (like abstract theories, natural discoveries, or artistic works).
No, it’s not mandatory. A provisional patent application is only advisable if your invention is still in development. If your invention is complete, you may directly file the complete specification without needing to file a provisional application.
No. A patent granted in India is valid only within Indian territory. For international protection, you must file separate applications in each country where protection is needed.
However, after filing in India, you can apply in convention countries or under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) within 12 months from the Indian filing date to claim priority and extend protection globally.
