Patent registration is the legal process that gives an inventor exclusive rights over their invention. It stops others from making, using, selling, or importing the invention without permission for up to 20 years from the filing date. With these rights, individuals and companies can protect their ideas, earn commercial benefits, license their technology, and tap into monetisation opportunities.
