The Indian Patents Act, 1970 lays down clear criteria and exclusions that define what is patentable and what isn\u2019t. Understanding these rules is the key to protect your innovation effectively.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Patentability Requirements<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Before filing, it\u2019s essential to determine whether your invention meets the three fundamental patentability criteria:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Novelty:<\/strong> The invention must be new, something not known, used, or published anywhere in the world before the filing date of your <a href=\"https:\/\/dexpatent.com\/provisional-patent-application-drafting\/\">patent application<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>For example, a new pharmaceutical compound with a structure never previously disclosed would qualify as novel.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Non-Obviousness \/ Inventive Step:<\/strong> The invention must involve a technical advancement that would not be obvious to someone skilled in the field. Simply replacing one material with another or combining one or more known features is not enough unless it produces a surprising result.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Industrial Applicability:<\/strong> The invention must be capable of being made or used by people or used in an industry, in other words, it should have a practical application and not just exist as a theoretical concept.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, an invention must be sufficiently disclosed in the patent specification, ensuring that a person skilled in the art can reproduce it.<\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/dexpatent.com\/patent-guide\/what-can-be-patented\"><strong>What Can Be Patented<\/strong><\/a><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/dexpatent.com\/insights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/patented.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"697\" height=\"287\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-7117\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dexpatent.com\/insights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/patented.png 697w, https:\/\/dexpatent.com\/insights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/patented-300x124.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 697px) 100vw, 697px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Under Indian law, both products and processes can be patented, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Manufacturing processes or methods<\/li>\n<li>Machines, apparatus, devices or equipment<\/li>\n<li>Articles of manufacture<\/li>\n<li>Compositions of matter such as chemical compounds or pharmaceutical formulations<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Interestingly, microorganisms in their natural form are not patentable in India.
