Patent protection is territorial right and therefore it is effective only within the territory of India. However, filling an application in India enables the applicant to file a corresponding application for same invention in conventional countries, within or before expiry of twelve months from filling data in India. Therefore, separate patent should be obtained in each country where the applicant requires protection of his invention in those countries. There is no patent valid worldwide.
