Indian Patent Search

An Overview- Patent Search

The government of India took the step of registering patents in order to grant its citizens ownership rights over and protection for their ideas. People must submit all available evidence of their inventions' uniqueness in order to file for a patent in India. Through a patent search service, it is possible.

A patent forbids unauthorised use, production, sale, importation, or export of an invention without the owner's consent. It grants owners of inventions the right to protect their intellectual property. The validity of a patent is 20 years after the date of filing.

Before awarding such rights, a thorough and comprehensive examination is conducted. It covers whether the product is useful or inventive and whether it has been previously mentioned in any published sources. To determine whether there are any inventions that are similar to the applicant's invention, patent authorities search the database of India's intellectual property authority.

Why Patent Search?

Thousands of patent applications are submitted to the authorities on patents each year. While majority of patent applications are not approved. The similarity of the inventions or applications is the cause.

For instance, every year Indian pharmaceutical companies submit patent applications following the introduction of any drug, but they are rejected since the research formulae and drug development are too similar. Therefore, it is best to conduct a patent search before choosing to go through the patent registration process directly.

Benefits of Patent Search

The advantages of a patent search in India include:

It can predict the likelihood that your patent application will be approved.

It determines whether your inventions or items are legitimate.

Knowing about similar inventions, if any, will be helpful.

Patent search saves you time and money in the event that there are already registered identical patents, which increases the likelihood of patent registration in India.
