A patent is an exclusive right granted by the Indian Patent Office for a novel invention — a product or process that provides a new technical solution to a problem. It gives the inventor the legal right to prevent others from making, using, selling, importing or exporting the patented invention in India without permission.
In India, patents are governed by the Patents Act, 1970 (as amended) and administered by the Office of the Controller General of Patents, Designs & Trade Marks. A patent is valid for 20 years from the date of filing — subject to annual renewal fees.
Protects your invention date immediately. Valid for 12 months — gives you time to develop the complete specification. Government fee: ₹1,600. File before disclosing to investors or partners.
💬 File Provisional PatentDetailed patent application with full claims, description, drawings. Filed within 12 months of provisional (or directly). Examination follows. Government fee from ₹8,000.

Pure software and mathematical methods are not directly patentable in India. However, software inventions that produce a technical effect or solve a technical problem — particularly computer-implemented inventions — may be patentable if properly drafted. Our Registered Patent Agent can evaluate your software invention and advise on patentability.
From filing to grant typically takes 3 to 5 years in India. A provisional application secures your priority date immediately. The complete specification must be filed within 12 months of provisional filing. Examination is requested within 31 months. The patent is granted after successful examination and no pre-grant opposition.
A provisional application secures your priority date immediately and gives you 12 months to file the complete specification. It does not result in patent grant on its own — it only establishes the filing date. A complete specification contains full claims and detailed description, and it is on this basis that the patent is examined and granted.
Technically yes, but it is strongly not recommended. Patent claims must be precisely drafted — broad enough to provide meaningful protection, but specific enough to be novel and inventive. Poorly drafted claims can result in a very limited patent or rejection. Adv. Sudhir Kumar Gambhir, our Registered Patent Agent, ensures your claims are professionally and strategically drafted.
