PATENT

• A patent is an important asset for an
  organization. However, obtaining a grant of a
  patent is a long process with multiple checks on
  novelty, non-obviousness and industrial
  application of the invention. A patent gives an
  exclusive right to the inventor to make, use and
  sell his invention. This exclusive right is given
  for a period of 20 years from the date of filing.
  The main idea behind a patent is to protect the
  inventions that are created, thereby encouraging
  more developments.
