Legal Question in Intellectual Property in India

Re: patent law

The Procedure is more or less the same except the opposition proceedings. US does not have pre-grant opposition whereas India has both pregrant and post grant opposition.

The main difference is about "inventive step". The ground to assess is different for these jurisdictions.

Re: patent law

Every country has their own patent regime to protect the inventor's rights and interests within the territory of the nation. The TRIPS (Trade Related Intellectual Property Rigths) provides the minimum standard of intellectual property protection in the all the signatory countries. All signatory countries of the TRIPS follow the minimum standard of protection. So the basic regime of the protection is almost similar in all the countries. There are the differences in the patent grant procedure in various countries because patent is a territorial right.
