Abstract:
The patent system is designed to encourage inventions that
are useful to society by granting inventors absolute right to make profit from
their inventions. While disclosing the invention benefits the society,
protecting the invention benefits the inventor. But patents cannot protect each
and every person who conceives an invention. While there are some common
criteria of accepting an invention for patenting, the laws of patenting differ
from country to country to some extent. The concept of patentability is also
very vague in some instances of the legal system. Hence it is important to
check the patentability of your invention in order to avoid rejection. This
article describes the components and mechanism of patentability assessment.
