Patent Registration Services
A Patent is a legal right granted for a new invention that gives the inventor exclusive rights to make, use, sell, license, and protect that invention for a specific period of time. It helps prevent others from copying, manufacturing, or commercially using the invention without permission from the patent owner.
A patent can protect:
- New Products
- New Processes
- New Machines
- New Technologies
- Software-related technical inventions (where patentable)
- Manufacturing innovations
- Industrial designs with technical functionality
- Chemical and pharmaceutical inventions
- Mechanical innovations
- Engineering solutions and technical improvements
For an invention to qualify for patent protection in India, it must generally satisfy three major conditions:
- Novelty (it must be new)
- Inventive Step (it must not be obvious)
- Industrial Applicability (it must be capable of practical use in industry)
Indian patent law also excludes certain subject matter under Section 3 of the Patents Act, such as abstract theories, certain medical methods, and some non-patentable subject matter. Patent guidance commonly highlights these exclusions and eligibility checks before filing.
A granted patent in India generally remains valid for 20 years from the filing date, subject to renewal and compliance requirements.
Patent registration is filed with the Indian Patent Office under the Office of the Controller General of Patents, Designs and Trade Marks (CGPDTM). The process commonly includes:
- Patentability Search
- Prior Art Search
- Drafting of Provisional or Complete Specification
- Form 1 Filing (Application for Grant of Patent)
- Form 2 Filing (Provisional / Complete Specification)
- Form 3 (Statement and Undertaking)
- Form 5 (Declaration of Inventorship)
- Form 18 (Request for Examination)
- Publication of Patent Application
- Examination by Patent Office
- Reply to First Examination Report (FER)
- Hearing (if required)
- Grant of Patent
Patent applications are generally published after 18 months unless early publication is requested. Request for examination is a mandatory step and examination begins only after filing the examination request. The minimum government filing fee for patent filing in India is generally ₹1,600 for individuals, startups, MSMEs, and educational institutions (within standard page and claim limits), while for large entities it is generally ₹8,000, with separate fees for examination, publication, amendments, and renewals. Startups may also receive fee benefits under eligible schemes.
Common documents required include:
- Invention Description
- Title of the Invention
- Complete or Provisional Specification
- Technical Drawings (if applicable)
- Inventor Details
- Applicant Details
- Identity and Address Proof
- Assignment Deed (if applicant is not inventor)
- Power of Attorney (if filed through Patent Agent)
- Startup / MSME Certificate where applicable
- Priority Documents for International Filing Cases
