Patent
- The legislation governing the protection of patents in India is the Patents Act, 1970.
- The primary reason behind protecting patents is to grant monopoly to the inventors for a limited time period so that they can recoup their investment, which in turn promotes more growth and innovation.
- To qualify for protection as a patent, an invention needs to be new, non-obvious, and capable of being used in an industry.
- Unlike copyright and trade mark, an invention needs to be mandatorily registered as a patent for protection.
- India is a signatory to the TRIPS Agreement, the Paris Convention and the Patent Co-operation Treaty, which enables patent holders to protect their rights in multiple countries without losing priority.
- We provide a range of services pertaining to the protection of patents spanning from drafting, filing, and prosecution to all kinds of associated litigation in the domain of patent laws.
