Overview
A Permanent Patent, also known as a granted patent, is the legal right given by the Indian Patent Office to an inventor for their invention. It gives the inventor exclusive rights to make, use, sell, and license the invention in India for a period of 20 years. It is granted under the Patents Act, 1970.
Before receiving a permanent patent, an applicant must first file a Provisional Patent or a complete patent application. The application then goes through several steps including publication, examination, and opposition (if any). Only after passing these stages does the Controller of Patents grant a permanent patent.
A permanent patent is very valuable as it creates a legal monopoly. It helps innovators protect their technology from being copied or used by others without their consent. It also increases the commercial value of the invention as it can be licensed, sold, or used to attract investors and partners.
