It is the original idea of the patentee. Analyzing a patent will make a researcher to evaluate the patent and improvise the same to file a new one. Patent analysis is used to critically evaluate the patent.   Though Indians are intelligent they are less aware of the patent filing process.” In his lecture he explained the importance of a patent, the structure of a patent, process of filing a patent, analyzing a patent, etc.
