What is a Divisional Invention?

When an application made by applicant claims more than one invention, the


applicant on his own or to meet the official objection may divide the

application and file two or more applications, as applicable for each of the

inventions. This type of application, divided out of the parent one, is called a

Divisional Application. The priority date for all the divisional applications will be same as that claimed by the Parent Application (Ante-dating).
