India, U.S. Agree To Cooperate on Patents, Copyright Protection
Washington -- The United States and India will work to improve Indian enforcement of copyrights, patents and other intellectual property, trade officials say.

“We remain committed to doubling bilateral trade over the next three years," Schwab said. "Improving the regulatory, customs and intellectual property protection climate is key.”

A patent protects your invention.
A patent for an invention is a grant of property rights by the U.S. Government through the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. The patent grant excludes others from making, using, or selling the invention in the United States. The terms "Patent Pending" and "Patent Applied For" are used to inform the public that an application for a patent has been filed. Patent protection does not start until the actual grant of a patent. Marking of an article as patented, when it is not, is illegal and subject to penalty.
