What can and cannot be patented: Patented Products


In your whole life, you have heard once about the word ‘patent’ but you will not have full information about it. If a person has made a new discovery, then he should get his idea or search patented. So that no person or organization can copy his/her idea or search. 
Anything which can qualify in the list of patented products will be granted to it. 

What is Patent?
When a person invents a new idea or a new discovery he has to get a patent for the right to come to his role. So if any other person gets his copy then the patent has a right that allows any person or organization to have complete new security so that no copying is done. 

Types of Patent
There are 3 types of patents:

Utility Patents: This protects useful processes, machines, product raw materials, the composition of anything, or improvement in any of them. For example fiber optics, computer hardware, medicines, etc.

Design Patents: This prevents new, original, and illegal use of the product. Such as the design of an athletic shoe, a bike helmet, or a cartoon character, all designs are patented products that means all have usefulness. 

Plant Patent: Through this, a variety of plants and plants prepared in new ways is protected. Examples of plant patents are hybrid roses, silver queen corn, and better boy tomatoes. The thing to note here is that you can file both utility and design patented products for different aspects of an invention. 

To secure a patent, your invention must:

  • Before the date of the patent application, a complete the new one has been created anywhere around the world that has never been publicly available.
  • Include something novel and unique that will not be obvious to anyone with an in-depth knowledge of the field in which it is invented.
  • The industry has some applications. It can be used in some form in an industry, even if it means that it is a piece of complete equipment, a new material, or a process that improves some industrial operating methods.

An invention may not get a patent if it is:

  • A scientific theory or mathematical method;
  • A computer program or method of presenting information;
  • An artistic composition such as a literary work, drama or visual art;
  • Discovery of some natural phenomena;
  • Plan to do business, play games, or do some other mental work.
Apart from the above-mentioned factors, it is also not possible to obtain a patented product for a new medical procedure, the medical or diagnostic method, nor is it possible to patent a new type of plant.
