Frequently Asked Questions

What is a patent and what does it protect?

A patent is an exclusive right granted for an invention — a product or process that provides a new way of doing something or offers a new technical solution to a problem. It protects the technical or functional aspects of an invention, not just its appearance.

What are the requirements for patentability?

For an invention to be patentable, it must satisfy three criteria: novelty (new and not anticipated by prior art), inventive step (non-obvious to a person skilled in the art), and industrial applicability (capable of being made or used in industry).

What cannot be patented in India?

Section 3 of the Patents Act excludes: frivolous inventions, inventions contrary to law or morality, mere discovery of a scientific principle, mere new form of a known substance, mere admixture resulting in aggregation of properties, mere arrangement or re-arrangement of known devices, medical treatment methods, plants and animals, mathematical methods, business methods, computer programmes per se, and traditional knowledge.

How long does patent registration take?

A patent application typically takes 2-5 years for grant in India, depending on the field of invention, examination workload, and office actions. Expedited examination is available for certain categories including startups, small entities, and female inventors.

How long does patent protection last?

Patent protection lasts for 20 years from the date of filing (or priority date) of the patent application. After the term expires, the invention enters the public domain and can be freely used by anyone. Annual renewal fees must be paid to maintain the patent.

Can a granted patent be challenged?

Yes. A granted patent can be challenged through: pre-grant opposition (before grant), post-grant opposition (within 12 months of grant), revocation petition before the Intellectual Property Appellate Board (now High Court), and counterclaim in infringement proceedings.
