Patent
The word “patent” is referred from a Latin term “patere” which means “to lay open,” i.e. to make available for public inspection. There are three basic tests for any invention to be patentable: Firstly, the invention must be novel, meaning thereby that the Invention must not be in existence. Secondly, the Invention must be non- obvious, i.e. the Invention must be a significant improvement to the previous one; mere change in technology will not give the right of the patent to the inventor. Thirdly, the invention must be useful in a bonafide manner, meaning thereby that the Invention must not be solely used in any illegal work and is useful to the world in a bonafide manner.
