A patent is a legal right granted by the government to the inventor for a new, useful, and non-obvious invention.
It gives the inventor exclusive rights for 20 years to make, use, sell, or license the invention.
Patents help secure your idea from being copied and are essential for commercialization and investor confidence.
You can patent products, processes, methods, or compositions in any field of technology, including mechanical, chemical, pharmaceutical, electrical, biotech, and software (with embedded hardware).
The invention must be novel, have an inventive step, and be industrially applicable.
Abstract ideas, business methods, and scientific theories cannot be patented.
A provisional patent application secures an early filing date and is used when the invention is still under development.
It does not require claims and gives 12 months to file the complete specification, which contains full technical details and claims.
Filing a provisional helps block competitors while you fine-tune your invention.
The total patent process—from filing to grant—can take 2 to 5 years depending on examination speed, office actions, and backlog.
You can request expedited examination if you meet certain criteria (like being a startup, MSME, or female applicant).
Publication usually occurs 18 months after filing unless an early publication request is made.
Yes, but with limitations. In India, software cannot be patented “as such” unless it has a technical effect or is tied to specific hardware.
For example, a software controlling a machine or performing encryption may be patentable.
Otherwise, consider copyright protection for your source code or file a patent in the US where software is more broadly accepted.
No, patents are territorial, meaning a patent granted in India protects your invention only within India.
However, you can file a PCT (Patent Cooperation Treaty) application to seek protection in 150+ countries using a single international route.
You must enter each country's national phase and follow their individual rules.
You will need:
Inventor’s name, address, and nationality
Title and abstract of the invention
Detailed description with drawings
Claims (for complete filing)
Form-1 to Form-5 (with authorization)
Priority documents if claiming international rights
We handle all documentation end-to-end.
If you've already published, presented, or disclosed your idea in public (e.g., journal, pitch, exhibition), it may lose novelty.
Indian law has some exceptions, such as filing within 12 months of certain disclosures (grace period), but it's risky.
To be safe, file before public disclosure.
Patent costs include:
Prior art search & legal opinion
Drafting (provisional/complete)
Government fees (₹1,600–8,000 for individuals/startups; higher for companies)
Examination request, office action response
Annual renewal fees from year 3 onwards
We offer fixed-price patent packages with installment options.
While individuals can technically file on their own, patent law and drafting involve legal, technical, and strategic complexities.
Poorly drafted patents can be rejected, challenged, or easily bypassed.
A registered Patent Agent or IP attorney improves your chance of grant and long-term enforceability.
