PROVISIONAL PATENT REGISTRATION– HAVE AN EDGE OVER OTHERS
The Patent is the right given by the government to the inventor of a creation granting exclusive rights to the patentee. The registration of the patent is done through complete specification or a provisional specification. Filing for provisional specification when the inventor is in the path of reaching the end result will improve the chance of the product being patented. The application for provisional registration must contain the title of the product and its description. The claims are only included in a complete specification and not in the provisional specification.
