Now this is GAME! Patent can really change the way you look at your inventions and even help you grow more money, if used wisely. But there is no doubt that the patent and trademark landscape in India has always been in mayhem. Most of the inventions especially done by the small

and medium enterprises and the startups go un-patented due to ignorance that still prevails widely within the industry.

Lack of proper guidance and assistance by law firms is also among the paramount reasons for the failure. While mentors focus on supervising startups and SMEs in creating innovation, many of them tend to ignore or lack the knowledge about the importance of patenting and trademarking these innovations which could change the organization’s path to all green.
