In the case of Bishwanath Prasad Radhey Shyam Vs. Hindustan Metal Industries, (1979) 2 SCC 511, it was held by the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India that the object of Patent law is to encourage scientific research, new technology and industrial progress. A limited-time grant of the only right to own, use, or sell a patented method or product encourages the development of new commercially useful inventions. The disclosure of the invention to the Patent Office, which becomes public domain after a predetermined duration of the monopoly, is the cost of the monopoly grant. In Raj Prakash Vs. Mangat Ram Choudhary AIR 1978 Delhi 1, it was held that inventive creation, as is notable, is to discover something or find something not found or found by anybody previously. It isn't essential that the invention ought to be anything confounded. The fundamental thing is that the creator was first to embrace it. The main issue in this manner, is that each basic creation is asserted, as in the form of novelty or new character, it will be considered as an invention and the cases & specifications must be perused in that light. Section 2(1) (ja) of the Patent Act, 1970 defines the term inventive step as to mean a feature of an invention that involves technical advance as compared to the existing knowledge or having economic significance or both that makes the invention not obvious to a person skilled in the art. Section 6 of the Act provides that who can make an application for a patent for an invention. Consider the above statements, answer the questions: What are the criteria for patenting the invention?
