What is Patent Registration?

Patent Registration is a legal process that grants the inventor exclusive rights to their invention, allowing them to control how it is used, sold, or distributed. In India, patents are governed by the Patents Act, 1970, which provides protection for novel inventions across various fields like technology, pharmaceuticals, and engineering.

Benefits of Patent Registration:

• Exclusive Rights: Only the patent holder can make, use, sell, or license the invention for up to 20 years.
• Market Advantage: Protecting your invention allows you to have a competitive edge in the market.
• Revenue Generation: You can license or sell the patent, generating additional income streams.
• Legal Protection: Registered patents allow you to take legal action against infringers.
