PATENT PROCESS
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS PATENT
A patent is a set of exclusive rights granted by a state (national
government) to an inventor or their assignee for a limited period of
time in exchange for a public disclosure of an invention.
The procedure for granting patents, the requirements placed on the
patentee, and the extent of the exclusive rights vary widely between
countries according to national laws and international agreements.
The word patent originates from the Latin patere, which means "to
lay open" (i.e., to make available for public inspection)

1. The first legislation in India relating to patents was the Act VI of 1856. The
objective of this legislation was to encourage inventions of new and useful
manufactures and to induce inventors to disclose secret of their inventions.
The Act was subsequently repealed by Act IX of 1857 since it had been
enacted without the approval of the British Crown . Fresh legislation for
granting ‘exclusive privileges’ was introduced in 1 859 as Act XV of 1859.
BRIEF ABOUT INDIAN PATENT SYSTEM
2. In 1872, the Act of 1859 was consolidated to provide protection relating to
designs. It was renamed as “The Patterns and Designs Protection Act” under
Act XIII of 1872. The Act of 1872 was further amended in 1883 (XVI of 1883)
to introduce a provision to protect novelty of the invention, which prior to
making application for their protection were disclosed in the Exhibition of India.
3. The Indian Patents and Designs Act, 1911, (Act II of 1911) replaced all the
previous Acts. This Act brought patent administration under the management
of Controller of Patents for the first time. This Act was further amended in 1920
to enter into reciprocal arrangements with UK and other countries for securing
priority.
4. After Independence, it was felt that the Indian Patents & Designs Act,
1911 was not fulfilling its objective. It was found desirable to enact
comprehensive patent law owing to substantial changes in political and
economic conditions in the country. Accordingly, the Government of
India constituted a committee under the Chairmanship of Justice (Dr.)
Bakshi Tek Chand, a retired Judge of Lahore High Court, in 1949 t o
review the patent law in India in order to ensure that the patent system
is conducive to the national interest. The terms of reference included
 to survey and report on the working of the patent system in India;
 to examine the existing patent legislation in India and to make
recommendations for improving it, particularly with reference to the
provisions concerned with the prevention of abuse of patent rights;
 to consider whether any special restrictions should be imposed on
patent regarding food and medicine;
 to suggest steps for ensuring effective publicity to the patent
system and to patent literature, particularly as regards patents
obtained by Indian inventors;
 to consider the necessity and feasibility of setting up a National
Patents Trust;
 to consider the desirability or otherwise of regulating the profession
of patent agents
 to examine the working of the Patent Office and the services
rendered by it to the public and make suitable recommendations
for improvement; and
 to report generally on any improvement that the Committee thinks
fit to recommend for enabling the Indian Patent System to be more
conducive to national interest by encouraging invention and the
commercial development and use of inventions.
PATENT LAW:
A patent is not a right to practice or use the invention. Rather, a
patent provides the right to exclude others[13] from making, using,
selling, offering for sale, or importing the patented invention for the
term of the patent, which is usually 20 years from the filing date [3]
subject to the payment of maintenance fees. A patent is, in effect, a
limited property right that the government offers to inventors in
exchange for their agreement to share the details of their inventions
with the public.
TYPES OF PATENTS:
Utility Patents - new, useful, or improved processes, machines,
apparatuses, articles of manufacture, or compositions
of matter
Design Patents - new, original, and ornamental designs for an article of
manufacture
Plant Patents - inventions, discoveries, or asexually reproduced
distinct and new varieties of plants; including cultivated
sports, mutants, hybrids, newly found seedlings, and
living organisms.
