What is Patent Registration?

Patent Registration is a legal process that grants inventors exclusive rights over their novel, non-obvious, and industrially applicable inventions. Governed by the Patents Act, 1970, registering a patent prevents third parties from making, using, selling, or importing the patented invention without permission. It provides statutory protection for a period of 20 years.
