A Nepali scientist, Ruchit Kumar Regmi<\/strong>, has been decided to be awarded with a patent for invention of \u2018Pilotless Aircraft for Commercial and Military Use\u2019<\/strong> by US Department of Commerce. The decision was taken by Patent and Trademark Office under US Department of Commerce on 3rd<\/sup> February to award the patent title to Regmi. In the notice paper issued to Regmi, he has been given a deadline of three months to receive the certificate of patent right. After reviewing the invention of Regmi, the Patent and Trademark Office has stated on the paper to Regmi that the patent right for the invention title \u2018pilotless aircraft for commercial and military use\u2019 can\u2019t be claimed by none other than Regmi. The US patent is considered as one of the most prized patent rights in the world.<\/p>\n For the patent right, Regmi has to confirm the patent within three months with issue of $ 15000 as patent right fee. After the confirmation, Regmi will get the patent right over the invention title for next 20 years. With the declaration of patent right to be issued to Regmi, he said, \u201cI have to pay a patent fee of $ 15000 to get the patent right for my invention, and for now I\u2019m unable to manage such a big amount within three months. I expect financial aid from the government.\u201d Three years ago, in order to claim the patent right, Regmi appeared on and qualified the two examinations taken by US Patent and Trademark Office. In June 2011, as the news about Regmi\u2019s qualification was published in media, the then cabinet of Government of Nepal furnished an assistance of Rs. 2 m to Regmi for the examination fees. Regmi said, \u201cOnce again, I seek assistance from the government.\u201d<\/p>\n
