Indian Patent Search - Overview

A patent allows the owner to prevent anyone else from constructing, using, having to import, or selling their Invention without their permission. Before providing a patent a complete survey is conducted in order to make sure that the invented procedure or process is unique. This involves analyzing the entire database of the nation's patent authority for a specific project that is similar to the applicant's discovery.
