Patents are one of the most powerful tools available to inventors and entrepreneurs — yet the patent system remains poorly understood by most people outside the legal profession. In India, where a new generation of startups, researchers, and engineers is driving the country toward becoming a global innovation leader, that knowledge gap can be costly.
From the fundamentals of intellectual property to the step-by-step procedure for filing a patent application at the Indian Patent Office, this guide demystifies the Indian patent system for the non-specialist.
Beyond the procedural, the book equips readers with creative strategies to develop stronger patent applications, including Design Thinking, TRIZ, SCAMPER, and Blue Ocean Strategy, and examines famous patent wars from Apple vs. Samsung to the CRISPR battle, drawing out lessons every inventor can apply.
What you will learn:
• The basics of patents, trademarks, copyrights, and other forms of IP
• How to search prior art and assess patentability
• How to draft and file patent applications at the Indian Patent Office
• Creative frameworks for developing stronger, more defensible inventions
• How to commercialize a patented invention, from prototyping to licensing
• Legal remedies for infringement, opposition, and revocation in India
• The unique challenges of software and AI patents
