Patent Drafting & Filing support from our Patent team, handled end-to-end as part of our Intellectual Property practice.
Patent drafting is completed within 7 to 12 business days depending on the technical complexity. Filing is executed within 2 to 3 days of final approval. Examination takes 18 to 36 months under the standard route but can be fast-tracked to 6 to 12 months for startups and MSMEs through Expedited Examination (Form 18A). The total patent term is 20 years from the priority filing date.
We make legal and intellectual property filings seamless, secure, and fully transparent. Here is how we handle your assignment from start to finish:
Understand your goals, check eligibility, and draft the filing roadmap.
Collect required records and conduct compliance checks for errors.
Draft and submit applications to the registry within 48 business hours.
Monitor application progress and respond to office actions/objections.
Handover certified registrations and provide post-filing support.
A Provisional Specification is filed to secure an early priority date with a basic description of the invention. The Complete Specification with full claims must be filed within 12 months. If you are ready with all details, a Complete Specification can be filed directly.
Under Section 3(k) of the Patents Act, software 'per se' is not patentable. However, software inventions that produce a technical effect, solve a technical problem, or are integrated with hardware are regularly patented in India when the claims are drafted to emphasize the technical contribution.
Startups (registered under DPIIT), small entities (MSME-registered), and educational institutions receive an 80% reduction in all Patent Office fees. Female applicants who are natural persons also receive this concession.
