ABSTRACT

Researchers and academicians for various reasons find themselves in a situation of divulging more than required and being deprived of recognition and benefit that they deserved. This paper briefly looks into the various advantages associated with patents, what could be the different reasons for sharing or going in public about the vital reason information before filling a patent. This paper also points to the extent one can share the information which would not siphon off “obviousness” essential for patentability. The paper discusses how both the objectives of sharing information, getting peer recondition and also not to lose a patent is been discussed.
