Any invention of product or process which is new and involves inventive step and is capable being applied industrially can be patented in India. The procedure for registration is as follows:

2. Next step is to file a patent application in the prescribed form along with a specification of the patent which has another prescribed format by the authority.

3. A patent drat is also to be submitted which is used by the Patent Office in determining whether to grant the patent or not.

4. It is then published within 18 months and then an application for examination in the prescribed format is to be filed before it can be finally granted.
