What do the words “Patent Pending” or “Patent Applied For” notify in India?

The patent applicants usually mark their articles with such words after filing application for patent to make the public aware that a patent application has been filed in respect of that invention. The use of such words by the patent applicant does not prohibit the third party to plead as innocent unless the patent number is indicated. However the infringement action can be initiated only after the patent is granted.
