RESEARCH PROPOSAL M.PHARM (QA)
WHAT IS PATENT?
A patent is an exclusive right granted for an invention, which is a product or a

process that provides, in general, a new way of doing something, or offers a new
technical solution to a problem.
HISTORY OF INDIAN PATENT SYSTEM:

1856: The Act VI of 1856 on protection of inventions based on
the British Patent Law of 1852. Certain exclusive privileges
granted to inventors of new manufacturers for a period of 14
years.
1859:The Act modified as act XV Patent monopolies called exclusive

privileges (making. Selling and using inventions in india and
authorizing others to do so for 14 years from date of filing
specification).
1872:The Patterns & Designs Protection Act.
1883:The Protection of Inventions Act.
1888:Consolidated as the Inventions & Designs Act.
1911:The Indian Patents & Designs Act.
1999: On march 26, 1999 Patents (Amendment) Act,

(1999) came into force from 01-01-1995.
2002:The Patents (Amendment) Act 2002 came into force

from 20th may 2003
2005: The Patents (Amendment) Act 2005 effective

from 1st january 2005

OBJECTIVES OF PATENT SYSTEM:

 To encourage inventions.
 To breed inventions.
 How to obtain a copy right.
 Avoiding reinventing wheel.
 Selecting professional assistance, legal services in pursuing intellectual
property rights.
Steps to File a Patent

Step 1: Become well-versed in the subject matter
Go through the Indian Patent Act as all the inventions are not patentable. This is to be sure that
your invention bypasses the list of exceptions.
Step 2: Patentability criteria & other checks
The next step in the process is to check whether the invention meets all criteria stated as per the
rules under The Patents Act, 1970. Ensure that your invention:
 Has industrial application
 Is enabling
 Is Non-obviousness
 It Falls under the definition of novel
One must also engage patent experts to conduct extensive research on the patentability of an
invention or idea. Only after receiving professional advice from experts should you decide
whether or not to pursue your patent application.
This step reduces the burden on the innovator and provides him/her with a detailed picture of the
patent’s monetary value in the future. Furthermore, this step saves time and money.
Step 3: Curate your invention in a detailed manner
The most crucial points which must be addressed in the written document would be:
 Field of invention
 Description of the innovation
 Utility of the invention
 Working on the invention
The documents from the research and development phase must also be furnished after they are
duly signed along with the date by you and the competent authority.

Step 4: Explain your invention through diagrams
Diagrams will enhance the utility of your invention. Through diagrams, the working of the
invention must be explained. This is because visual presentation may enhance the chances of you
getting the patent granted in your name.
Step 5: File the patent application
The provisional application can also be filed in case an invention is in the very early stage of
research and development. The advantage of filing a provisional application is as follows:

 Low-cost protection for 12 months, which investors can use to find investors
 12 months duration to furnish complete specification
 Protection of the filing date
However, if you have a detailed explanation for your invention, you can directly request a
complete specification instead. Further, all the required documents and research work should be
submitted to generate a prototype to back up your invention claims. Complete specifications
must be submitted along with the application.
Step 6: Publish the application
Once the application has been submitted, it will be published after 18 months of first filing.
However, one can request for early publication by paying the stated fees. Additionally, it will
take around one month to publish once the early publication request has been registered.
Step 7: Examination stage
Thereafter one has to request the authorities (RFE) to examine the application. Once the request
for examination is received, the controller forwards the patent application to a patent examiner
who scrutinizes the application through criteria such as:

 Inventive step
 Enabling
 Novelty
 Industrial application

 Patentable subject matter

 Non-obviousness
The examiner thereafter develops a report of the application. Additionally, the first report will be
handed over to the controller to brief him on the invention’s patentability and genuineness.
Step 8: Objection clarification
Most patent applications will be flagged for some sort of objection based on the examination
report. The best way to resolve this hurdle is to re-check the documents submitted and go
through with the examination report with the help of an IP professional such as the experts
at Vakilsearch. Thereafter, draft a response to the objections and send them to the respective
authorities.
Step 9: Communication with authorities
The applicant is required to communicate with the controller to ensure that all objections in the
patent applications are resolved and that he/she has a fair chance to justify his stance. Once the
objections are resolved the applicant will be granted the patent as soon as possible.
Step 10: Grant of patent
The application will be considered for the grant as soon as it meets all of the requirements
specified by the authorities. Additionally, the patent grant is documented in the patent journal
which is published on a regular basis.
