Chapter 214: The Patent Act (1655) Part: (2/2)

Dakshin Bharatiya Empire, Vijayanagara State, Lingapura

After hearing the notice read by her daughter, Jayamma became very excited. Although it was only a possibility, she felt like her own mango-lemon mixed pickle recipe could be eligible for a patent application. In the same excitement, she travelled to the nearest court located in the nearby town and applied for the patent. Her daughter helped her understand the various things in the application form. Fortunately, after going through the form and reading the guidelines provided, it was concluded that Jayamma's recipe was unique and could be mass-produced according to the mass-production eligibility test. Hence, she was granted a patent for 7 years.

She took the document and had her daughter read it again, "Patent for Jayamma's Mango and Lemon Mixed Pickle Recipe. This recipe contains 12 spices in a unique ratio. Anyone identified copying this recipe could be punished by the rule of law."
