A permanent patent refers to the exclusive legal rights granted to an inventor for a novel and useful invention under the Patents Act, 1970. Once granted after examination, publication, and approval, a patent provides the inventor with the sole authority to manufacture, sell, license, or use the invention for a defined period, typically 20 years from the filing date. This protection prevents unauthorized use, copying, or commercialization by others. Maintaining a permanent patent requires paying annual renewal fees and complying with legal and procedural requirements. In case of disputes, infringement cases can be filed in courts for enforcement of patent rights. Professional assistance is recommended for filing the application accurately, drafting claims to cover the scope of the invention, responding to examination reports, and managing renewals. Securing a permanent patent encourages innovation, safeguards intellectual property, and provides commercial advantages through licensing, commercialization, or exclusive use. Timely registration and maintenance of patent rights ensure legal protection, revenue opportunities, and recognition of the inventor’s creative efforts.
