PATENTS

Patent is a form of intellectual property right. It protects the patentee’s interests for his invention.A Patent can be defined as a set of exclusive rights granted by the government to a patentee for a fixed period of time in exchange for the regulated public disclosure of certain details of an invention.A patent can be obtained for a device or a method,process or composition of matter which is new, inventive and useful industrially or commercially exploitable.

Small Scale Industries

SSI(Small Scale Industries):

It is a sector of industry recognized by the Government to support.

How to identify a SSI?

SSI can be identified based on the land/machinery used,production method,investment made or the number of people employed.The khadi,pickles,agarbatti and beedi industries are few examples of SSI.

Conventional SSI is an industry such as cottage/handicraft that employs labor oriented production methods to produce conventional products.

National accounting category:Any undertaking that is involved in manufacturing,servicing,processing,preserving with an investment in land and machine upto 60 lakhs.

Operational category:Involves any undertaking involving one or more owners,industry with upto 60 lakhs on machinery,purchase/land.

Characteristics of SSI:

low investment,one or more people on work,family ownership,semi-skilled labor,confined locality/region.

Rationals of SSI:

job creation,social and economic growth,enhancement  of standard of living,removal of regional imbalance.

 

There are several supporting agencies of the Government for SSI.They are categorized into All India Institutions(like SSIB,NSIC,KVIC etc..),State Level Institutions(like SSIDC,SDIs,DICs etc..) and Fund-Based Institutions(like SIDBI,SFCs and commercial banks).
