Permanent Patent Registration - An Overview
A patent is a right granted to an individual or enterprise by the government which excludes others from making, using, selling, or importing the patented product or process without prior approval.
Patent filing or patent registration is the first step an inventor takes to protect his/her invention from being misused.

Benefits of Patent Registration
The process of Copyright Registration assists in creating a Public Record. The term “Public Record” denotes that the owner’s work is duly protected and no one can use it without obtaining prior approval or license from the actual owner.
A registered copyright acts as legal evidence for the author or creator. It prevents the work from duplication and can be used as a proof of ownership in front of the court.
A duly registered copyright enables the owner to file a suit for infringement and take legal action against the infringer.
For example: A person is selling copies of a work without the prior permission of the owner.
In India, a registered copyright offers certain economic benefits to the owner regarding the use of the work, such as Public Performance, Broadcasting of Work, Making Copies, etc. Further, the term “Economic Benefits” denotes the availment of the appropriate fee or reward for the use of work.
After obtaining Copyright Registration, only the author or creator has the right to change the form of work. For example: a registered copyright enables the owner to revise, update, or make a sequel of the work.
A duly registered copyright enables the owner to sell/ pass/ or transfer the right of his/ her work to another person.
