Patents - Introduction
✓ A patent can be defined as a grant of exclusive rights to an inventor over their invention for a
limited period of time. The exclusive rights conferred include the right to make, use, exercise,
sell or distribute the invention and excluding others to make use of it
✓ The term of a patent is twenty years, after the expiry of which, the invention would fall into
the public domain
✓ A patent is valid within the territory of country where it is granted; however, protection can
be availed in other countries by filing applications in relevant patent offices
✓ Patents are granted for a new product or process

Indian Patents Act, 1970
The present Patents Act, 1970 came
into force in the year 1972. This Act
has been amended two times since
then, i.e., in 2002 and 2005
Only inventions are patentable
“An invention means a new product or
process involving an inventive step and
capable of Industrial application”

Criteria of Patentability
Novelty
It must be new, i.e. it is not something already existing in the current knowledge anywhere in the world, i.e. not in public domain in any form, before the filing of patent application.
Inventive Step
It must be non-obvious to any person who is skilled in the relevant field of technology. That is, the standard is a person reasonably skilled in such field of study and not a layman.
Industrial use
It must be capable of industrial application, i.e. capable of being applied to practical utilities and not just pure theory.
![Page 7: Intellectual Property Rights - Bharathidasan University · the Receiving Office (RO/IB) A Request (Form PCT/RO/101) accompanied by description, claims, abstract (and drawings if required)](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022041111/5f134b3fa607334d9e6fc159/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Other Characteristics of Patentability
Unity of invention
Claims in the application for
patent must refer to the same
inventive idea
Sufficiency of Disclosure
The complete specification (techno-legal document
describing the invention) should disclose the invention completely
so that a person skilled in the art can perform the invention by
developing the necessary technical know-how
![Page 8: Intellectual Property Rights - Bharathidasan University · the Receiving Office (RO/IB) A Request (Form PCT/RO/101) accompanied by description, claims, abstract (and drawings if required)](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022041111/5f134b3fa607334d9e6fc159/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

Registration Procedure – Convention Countries
Filing an convention application
In order to get convention status, an applicant should file the application in the
Indian Patent Office within 12 months from the date of first filing of a similar
application in the convention country
An application for patent filed in the Patent Office, claiming a priority date

Registration Procedure - International
The Patent Cooperation Treaty is an international treaty with more than 150
Contracting States
The PCT makes it possible to seek patent protection for an invention
simultaneously in a large number of countries by filing a single “international”
patent application instead of filing several separate national or regional patent
applications
The granting of patents remains under the control of the national or regional
patent Offices in what is called the “national phase”
![Page 24: Intellectual Property Rights - Bharathidasan University · the Receiving Office (RO/IB) A Request (Form PCT/RO/101) accompanied by description, claims, abstract (and drawings if required)](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022041111/5f134b3fa607334d9e6fc159/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Filing of International Application
The Indian Patent Office at Delhi, Chennai, Mumbai or Kolkata as the Receiving Office (RO/IN)

International Search
Every international application is subject to international
search by an International Searching Authority (ISA)
ISA establishes International Search Report (ISR) which
identifies the published patent documents and technical
literature (“prior art”) which may have an influence on
whether the invention is patentable
ISA also establishes Written Opinion of Search Authority
(WOSA) on the invention’s potential patentability
India is one of the
ISA

A patentee may assign the whole or any part of the patent rights
Kinds of assignments:
✓ Legal assignment (agreement to assign – Assignee (Patent Owner))
✓ Equitable assignment (certain share given to another person)

A valid assignment under the Patents Act requires the assignment to
be in writing, to be contained in a document that embodies all terms

Licence
Exclusive Licence means that no person or company other than
the named licensee can exploit the relevant intellectual property
rights. Importantly, the licensor is also excluded from exploiting
the intellectual property rights
Non-Exclusive Licence grants to the licensee the right to use the
intellectual property, but means that the licensor remains free to
exploit the same intellectual property and to allow any number
of other licensees to also exploit the same intellectual property

Compulsory Licence
To prevent the abuse of patent as a monopoly and to make way
for commercial exploitation of an invention by an interested person
Any person can make an application for grant of a compulsory
license for a patent after three years, from the date of grant of that
patent, on any of the following grounds:
• The reasonable requirements of the public with respect to the
patented invention have not been satisfied
• The patented invention is not available to the public at a
reasonably affordable price
• The patented invention has not worked in the territory of India
![Page 34: Intellectual Property Rights - Bharathidasan University · the Receiving Office (RO/IB) A Request (Form PCT/RO/101) accompanied by description, claims, abstract (and drawings if required)](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022041111/5f134b3fa607334d9e6fc159/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Surrender of Patents
A patentee may, at any time by giving notice to the Controller, offer to

Any person interested may, within the prescribed period after such
publication, give notice to the Controller of opposition to the surrender
If the Controller is satisfied after hearing the patentee and any
opponent, if desirous of being heard, that the patent may properly be
surrendered and, by order, revoke the patent

The Indian Patent Act does not specifically define activities that
constitute infringement of patent rights
But there is an exclusive rights upon the patentee to exclude
third parties from making, importing, using, offering for sale or

Violation of aforementioned monopoly rights would constitute
infringement of patent
