Understanding Provisional Patent
As per section 9 of Indian Patent Act, 1970, an individual or an entity can file for a provisional patent before obtaining a usual patent. As the name suggests, a provisional patent is a predecessor of an original patent containing specifications of an invention but not in a complete manner. It can be regarded as an optional step as the inventor is not obliged to file for a provisional patent but doing so can enhance the possibility of acquiring patent registration in the future.
In Provisional Patent specification, an applicant describes the invention including its title followed by the field of invention, objective, and its background. Claims, however, are not part of it. Through filing for a provisional patent, an inventor gets priority over other competitor applicants with an identical idea as India follows first to file system before establishing ownership for a patent.
Moreover, in order to ensure ownership, an applicant is obliged to submit required documents within 12 months of acquiring the provisional patent, else the application would be canceled and provisional patent won’t be valid anymore.
Key-Elements of Provisional Patents
Gain Market Potential
An inventor gets to know the possible potential of his invention in the market even before filing the complete specification. This will enable an applicant to make necessary technical amendments to improve its features based on the market requirements.
Generic Details
Application of Provisional Patent doesn’t require immense documentation. Applicants just need to describe their invention including its title, potential, nature, and industry.
1st Come 1st Served
India follows first to file system wherein the person first filing the Patent Registration is entitled to its ownership. Provisional Patent helps in securing the rights of the inventors as they mention their names on the inventions before even reaching the final stage.
Stay Ahead
Provisional Patent doesn’t grant ownership on an invention but enhances the possibilities to own it, while it also ensures that applicants move a step ahead of their market competitors.
Enhanced Credibility
On filing an application for Provisional Patent, an applicant can use “Patent Pending” tag along with the invention which enhances the credibility of the product and also can be helpful in obtaining funds.
