Why to file?
Protection serves as a tool to enforce your rights
May help you in marketing or branding
May look impressive while seeking funds
Looks good on resume
Licensing may fetch revenue
Better valuation of company at the time of merging
Promotion or admission in foreign university
Disclosure becomes easy
• Simplicity of technology is no bar
• For commercializing technology, you don’t have to wait till grant
• Patent is a tool and doesn’t ensure that you have 100% protection
• Strong patent does not ensure commercial success of the product in the market
• State of the art is powerful information to help you in multiple ways
Some facts
• Product
• Making, Using, Offering for sale, Selling or• Importing for those purposes that product in India
• Process
• Using that process, Offering for sale, Selling or
• Importing for those purposes the product obtained directly by that process in India
Rights of patentee
• Unauthorized use of IP
• No consent, license, assignment obtained from patentee
Infringement of patent
• Not using other’s IP is as critical as protecting your IP
• Clearance search or Freedom-to-operate analysis is MUST before product launch and even before finalizing product specifications
Infringement of patent
• Anant Electronics and Futuristic Concepts Media Ltd were using “digital transmission system” technology to manufacture VCDs
• In India, Philips had a patent protection on this technology
• Delhi High Court ordered the two Indian companies to stop manufacturing the VCDs that infringed Philip’s “digital transmission system”
• LESSON: Using technology protected by another company can drive you out of business
Philips v Anant and Futuristic
• Year 2010, VirnetX filed suit in the Eastern District of Texas federal court, claiming infringement of four patents for secure networks, known as virtual private networks, and secure communications links
• VirnetX continued to pursue Apple in relation to patents it believes the company infringed upon.
• Federal jury in Texas ordered Apple Inc to pay more than $302 million (roughly Rs. 2,008 crores) in damages for using VirnetXHolding Corp's patented internet security technology without permission in features including its FaceTime video conferencing application.
