Q#1
Intellectual property (IP) is a category of property that includes intangible creations of the
human intellect. To protect your idea so that someone else cannot steal your idea, you need
to secure one or more of the four different types of intellectual property (IP).
1. Request for a patent is initiated by filling out ‘Form P-1’ or ‘Form P-2’ (Convention
Application for Patent), along with the Specifications of the invention.
2. Specifications of the patent can be detailed on extra sheets (if required), and
include steps, processes, drawings and claims.
4. Forms P-1A, P-1B or P-1C have to be provided with ‘Form P-3A’ if the
original application form is Form P-1. On the other hand, if the original application
form is P-2, then the Specifications Form P-3A must accompany Forms P-2A, P-
2B or P-2C.
3. In case no objection is raised during evaluation or the legal matters are settled with
the opposition, the patent is sealed once the applicant(s) duly fill and submit ‘Form P-10’
(Request for Sealing), and the applicant is granted the rights for it for 20 years (subject
to renewal).
