It gives the inventor an exclusive right to sell, manufacture, and use the invention.<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ipindia.nic.in\/writereaddata\/Portal\/IPOAct\/1_31_1_patent-act-1970-11march2015.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">The Patent Act of 1970<\/a> deals with the registration procedure of patent. A patent application can be filed only by the true inventor for the protection of their invention. &nbsp;The inventor enjoys certain rights in the country where the patent is registered but only for a limited period. Therefore, when the term of patent ends, it becomes public property.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In order to register the patent, it should be inventive and\nuseful. We need to do a patent search for making sure that the inventions\nfulfill all the criteria. A comparative analysis is done for ensuring that the\npatent is not similar to any registered patent. &nbsp;One can conduct a patent search by themselves,\nor they can even outsource it. The main objective is to find similar\ninventions. For a proper patent search, inspection of the arena relating to the\npatent is essential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Patent registration can be defined as an absolute right of\nthe owner. With the registration, the owner gets an exclusive right to\nmanufacture, use, and market the invention. This right is only available for a\nperiod of 20 years from the date of application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Who_can_have_patent_registration\"><\/span><strong>Who can have patent\nregistration?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>The application for patent registration can be filed by the investor <\/li><li>Any person who is the assignee of the investor can make the application. <\/li><li>A legal representative can also submit an application if the applicant is deceased.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Who_can_grant_Patent_License\"><\/span><strong>Who can grant Patent\nLicense?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>The license can be granted by a National Patent Office or by any regional office.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Patent_Registration_Validity\"><\/span><strong>Patent Registration Validity <\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Patents are granted by Controller to inventors for a time span of 20 years.

This helps to check the novelty of\nan invention. It also prevents wastage of time.

One needs to file a series of form under the Patent Act. It can be done online and offline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> The provisional specification is filed in form 2. This provisional application is helpful when the applicant is in the early stage of their invention. It helps them secure a filing date and gives them 12 months time period for complete specification. Therefore after the provisional application is filed, then a complete specification has to be filed within 12 months. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moreover these exclusive rights are given on first come first serve basis. It means that the first person who applies for the patent will get it.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/lawyerinc.net\/in\/patent-registration\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"728\" height=\"90\" src=\"https:\/\/lawyerinc.net\/learning\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Legal-Advice-18.jpg\" alt=\"Patent Registration\" class=\"wp-image-899\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lawyerinc.net\/learning\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Legal-Advice-18.jpg 728w, https:\/\/lawyerinc.net\/learning\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Legal-Advice-18-300x37.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 728px) 100vw, 728px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"STEP_4_Publication_of_the_application\"><\/span><strong>STEP 4: Publication of the application<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>After the expiry of 18 months from the date of filing\napplication, then the application is published in the Official Journal and is\nalso open to the public.
