What is a Patent?
A patent is a statutory right granted under the Patents Act, 1970 and the Rules in India, which gives the inventor (or applicant) exclusive rights to the invention for a limited period, in return for publicly disclosing the invention.
It covers new processes, products or improvements that are novel, involve an inventive step and are capable of industrial application.

Can I patent an idea or concept?
No – you must have a complete invention (product, process, machine) that can be described and made. A pure idea without technical disclosure generally cannot be patented.
