Protecting your invention is essential to secure your competitive edge in the market. Patent registration grants you the exclusive right to make, use, sell, or license your invention for 20 years. With IndiaFilings, the process becomes simple, fast, and fully guided by experienced experts.

What Is a Patent?

A patent is a legal right granted by the Government of India for a new, inventive, and industrially applicable invention. It prevents others from using or commercializing your invention without your approval.

Why Is Patent Registration Important?

  • Protects your invention from being copied
  • Gives you exclusive commercial rights
  • Builds strong intellectual property assets
  • Helps attract investors and business partners
  • Allows you to earn revenue through licensing and royalties

Types of Patents in India

1. Utility Patent (New Inventions)

For new products, processes, machines, or technical inventions.

2. Design Patent

Protects the unique shape, pattern, or outer design of a product.

3. Patent of Addition

For improvements or modifications made to an already-patented invention.

Eligibility Criteria for Patent Registration

To be patentable, your invention must meet three essential criteria:

  • Novelty: The invention must be new and not published anywhere.
  • Inventive Step: It must not be obvious to a person skilled in the field.
  • Industrial Application: It must be capable of being used in industry.

Certain inventions such as mathematical methods, business models, plants, animals, and surgical methods are not patentable in India.
