A patent is a legal right granted for an invention, providing the inventor exclusive control over its use, production, and sale for a specified period, typically 20 years. This protection incentivizes innovation by allowing inventors to benefit commercially from their creations while disallowing others from exploiting the invention without permission. Patents cover a wide array of new and innovative processes and products across critical technical fields, including mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, information and communication technology, artificial intelligence, biotechnology, chemical engineering, materials science, energy technologies, green technology, transportation technologies, robotics, medical engineering, food technology, construction technology, aerospace technology, telecommunications, optics, and automotive technology. The patent system plays a crucial role in promoting technological advancement and economic growth by encouraging inventors to disclose their inventions to the public. Our patent services include:
