Intellectual Property rights

Patent

Patent is an exclusive statutory right granted by the government conferring an inventor with the exclusive right to make, use, and sell an invention and for excluding others, from making, using, selling or importing the patented product or process without his consent, in exchange of full disclosure of his invention.

Any creation made by the intellectual labour of a person, which was never thought of before, which may either be a product, machinery or process, can be patented. There are three aspects which are looked at for the grant of patent protection to an invention. These are:

• Novelty
• Inventive step or non-obviousness
• Capable of Industrial Application

However, it must not fall into any of the categories of inventions that are listed as non- patentable under Sections 3 and 4 of the Indian Patent Act.
