A Patent is a techno-legal document giving legal rights for a new or improved technical invention (not
necessarily scientific), giving the owner exclusive rights on the invention.
It is the best and only tool to protect Research & Development (R&D), and thus most successful
technical companies have a pool of patents protecting their R&D work which drives their Business
development.
Minimum criteria for a Patent is novelty, non-obviousness and industrial applicability

Why are Patents Important ?
Technical companies need to innovate continuously, for which they need to constantly invest and be
involved in R & D. This Research will be protected by them via Patents.
Companies also need to know if any of their products is patented by other players, else they will be
caught on the wrong side of law
Companies/ Universities monitor competitor’s/ other universities patents & understand their research
activities and strategies. eg Google, CSIR. IIT
Patents - An Introduction
Video
The right that a Patent grants its holder is that if any entity practices the Patented Invention, he would
be infringing on the Patent Owner’s legal rights, and thus can be sued in the court of law.
The common criteria for granting a Patent is Novelty, Non-obviousness and utility/industrial applicability.
Owing to the Commercial interest and the Novelty criteria, a large amount of scientific literature is
available as Patents that cannot be found anywhere else
Patents are Jurisdiction specific – They provide legal rights to the Patent holder only where his Patent
application has been Granted by the Patent Office (Government Body) of that individual state
(constitutional state i.e. country).
Please note that there is no International or World Patent. WO or PCT applications are merely Published
Patent Applications, meant for an easy alternative to apply in Individual states
The term of the Patent is the time when the Patent is active and legally enforceable, and currently it is
from the date of grant up to 20 years from the earliest date of filing
The Patents have a concept of Patent Families and Family members.
For e.g. ABC files an application in India and also files a same or similar application in the US taking
priority (extension) from Indian application, then the US application and Indian application belong to the
same Patent family.
