Interaction between applicants and their representatives, and a patent office
Patent prosecution is the patent process required to obtain a patent which involves interaction between the Assignee/Inventor or his legal representative and Patent Office with respect to his patent application.
As per the patent law, a provisional application is a legal document filed in the Indian Patent Office or any other patent office to establish an early filing date. The provisional application allows the inventor to file a patent application without a formal patent claim, oath or declaration, or any information disclosure (prior art) statement.
