Patent Registration FAQ's

A patent is an exclusive right given to someone who has created a new and useful product, improved an old product, or created a brand new method of producing a product. For a set amount of time, it consists of the sole right to produce the newly invented object or produce an article using the newly discovered method. Anyone may use the invention after the patent’s allotted time has passed.

To promote and advance new technology and industry, patents are granted. A new invention’s disclosure is only permitted if the inventor receives compensation for the talents and labour he used to create it; otherwise, he would like to keep his work a secret. The inventor divulges the specifics of the new invention and how to use it in exchange for the temporary monopoly, allowing others to make use of the invention after the monopoly time has ended.

Certain benefits come with becoming an inventor. Money rewards serve as a motivator for technological advancements. An invention need not be patented in order to exist. As long as he can keep it secret, an inventor is allowed to use his creation in secret. However, under normal conditions, the chances of keeping the formula secret are slim, particularly when an inventor needs to recruit collaborators or workers to implement the innovation. The original creator lacks any viable legal recourse if others begin producing the product through independent discovery or theft of the trade secret. If the owner of the patent does not agree to compensate the patentee adequately, others may not replicate the subject matter of the patent monopoly.
