What can be patented?

To be eligible for patent protection,, it must fulfill certain key criteria, ensuring that only original and valuable creations are granted protection. These requirements include:
– Novelty (Newness): The invention must be completely new and not previously disclosed to the public in any form, anywhere in the world. It should not be something that has already been used, published, or patented. The idea must be unique, and no one should have access to similar knowledge before the application is filed.
– Inventive Step (Non-Obviousness): The invention must involve an inventive step, meaning it cannot be something that is obvious to someone skilled in the field based on existing knowledge or technology. It should present a unique and creative solution that goes beyond minor modifications or combinations of existing ideas.
– Industrial Applicability: The invention must have a practical use and be capable of being made or used in any industry. This means the invention should be able to be manufactured, reproduced, or used on a commercial scale, providing real-world utility.
– Not Falling Under Non-Patentable Categories: Certain subjects are excluded from patent protection. These include abstract ideas, scientific principles, mathematical methods, and inventions based on natural phenomena. Additionally, inventions that go against public order, morality, or cause harm to the environment or society cannot be patented.
