India, being one of the developing countries in the world, has come forward a long way in the last few years. Thanks to several initiatives by the current Government of India, businesses and individuals are getting the confidence to take risks and earn higher revenue. According to the famous media professional and founder of Sunshine Digimedia Pvt Ltd (SDPL), Romil Ramgarhia, India is currently going through its most encouraging phase for business owners where innovation is thriving and will only continue to attain higher peaks.
This rise in innovation also helps the rise in patent registration in India. There is an increase of 572%in the number of patents granted in this current time frame of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Mr Ramgarhia considers this as great scope for start-ups to try innovative ideas and get patents for their innovation.
What Is a Patent?
A patent is a kind of license or government authority for certain intellectual property that allows its owner to enjoy the legal rights to stop anyone else from making, claiming, using or selling that particular invention for a certain number of years. The owner has to publish a public disclosure of that certain invention.
The government will grant the property right for a certain innovation to the inventor. The inventor solely possesses an exclusive right to make, use, sell and claim that invention for a designated period.
