PATectual will help you patent your invention

Patents are exclusive rights granted by the Government to a company/individual for an invention. Patents are time bound, in India for instance, patents are granted for a period of 20 years from the date of filing of the patent application. It is also to be noted that the patents are valid only within the territory where they have been granted.

Patents are an essential part of protecting technical innovation. They ensure research and development expenditure can be translated into real business benefits. Often if you want to patent an invention it’s difficult to know where to start, but engaging with PATectual means that you will be working with experts who truly understand both the technical details of your invention and the commercial objectives that you have.
