1. Patentable Subject Matter:  The foremost consideration is to determine whether the invention relates to a patentable subject-matter. Sections 3 and 4 of the Patents Act list out non-patentable subject matter. As long as the invention does not fall under any provision of Sections 3 or 4, it means it has patentable subject matter (subject to the satisfaction of the other criteria).
2. Novelty: Novelty is an important criterion in determining patentability of an invention. novelty or new invention is defined under Section 2(l) of the Patents Act as “any invention or technology which has not been anticipated by publication in any document or used in the country or elsewhere in the world before the date of filing of patent application with complete specification. Simply put, the novelty requirement basically states that an invention should never have been published in the public domain. It must be new with no same or similar prior arts.
3. Inventive step or Non-Obviousness: Inventive step is defined under Section 2(ja) of the Patents Act as “a feature of an invention that involves technical advance as compared to the existing knowledge or having economic significance or both and that makes the invention not obvious to a person skilled in the art”.
4. Capable of Industrial Application: Industrial applicability is defined under Section 2(ac) of the Patents Act as “the invention is capable of being made or used in an industry”. This essentially means that the invention cannot exist in abstract. It must be capable of being applied in any industry.
