Exclusive Rights for up to 20 Years.
What is a Patent?
A Patent is an exclusive set of rights granted to an inventor for a period of 20 years. It gives the inventor the right to exclude others from making, using, selling, or importing the invention without permission.
To be patentable, an invention must be:
- Novel: The invention must not have existed previously.
- Non-obvious: It must be a significant technical improvement, not just a simple change.
- Useful: It must have industrial applicability and utility.
Advantages of Patent Registration
- Protection: Prevents others from copying your invention.
- Monopoly: Exclusive rights for 20 years.
- Royalty: Can be licensed to others to earn royalty income.
- Asset Value: A patent is a valuable intangible asset for your company's valuation.

Copyright Registration
Copyright protects the original expression of ideas in the form of literary, dramatic, musical, and artistic works (e.g., books, music, software code, paintings).
Why Register? While copyright exists the moment a work is created, registration provides a public record and is necessary if you wish to sue for infringement.
