=== India === Under the Indian Patent Act (1970), "inventions" are defined as a new product or process involving an inventive step and capable of industrial application.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://ipindia.nic.in/writereaddata/Portal/ev/sections/ps2.html|title=Indian Patent Act 1970-Sections|website=ipindia.nic.in|access-date=2019-04-04}}</ref> Thus the patentability criteria largely involves novelty, inventive step and industrial application or usability of the invention. In addition, section 3 of the Patent Act, 1970, also provides a list of non-patentable inventions for e.g. inventions that are frivolous or contrary to well established to natural laws.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://ipindia.nic.in/writereaddata/Portal/ev/sections/ps3.html|title=What are not inventions - Section 3}}</ref>
