PATENTS
 A patent is a legal title granting its holder the exclusive right to make
use of an invention for a limited area and time by stopping others
from, among other things, making, using or selling it without
authorization.

 In return for this right, the applicant must disclose how his
invention works in sufficient detail.

 When a patent is granted, the applicant becomes the owner of


the patent. Like any other form of property, a patent can be
bought, sold, licensed or mortgaged.

 Patents are territorial rights, so an Indian patent will only give


the owner rights within India and rights to stop others from
importing products into India.
