Procedure for grant of patents in India
A patent is an exclusive right which is granted by the Government for an invention, for a limited time period. This exclusive right of a patentee allows him to prevent a third party from using, selling or claiming the invention for which patent has been granted, in an unauthorised and illegal manner, while the term of the patent subsists. An invention which was granted patent can be used freely by the public after the term of the patent has expired or has ceased to have an effect.
