Patent Law is a species of intellectual property law. An Intellectual Property right can be broadly divided into two categories viz. Industrial Property and Copyrights. Industrial property includes patents, trademarks, industrial designs while copyright would include literary and artistic works. A right to intellectual property is an intangible right to a product of a man's brain such as a new invented product. A patent is an intellectual property right granted to an invention. The object of the patent law is to primarily encourage scientific research. It encourages research and invention by guaranteeing to the patent holder an exclusive right to prevent all others from manufacturing, using or selling invented goods i.e. patented product for a particular number of years to the exclusion of all others. But in consideration for it, an inventor has to make available/disclose his knowledge of the invention. The primary reason of such disclosure is that it would allow the society to exploit it after the expiry of the patent protection period.
The present work is a detailed commentary on the Patents Act, 1970. This book on patent law discusses all the provisions of the Act in detail as well as important cases on various topics of the Patent Law.
