Patent Registration

Overview

A patent gives the exclusive right to make, use and sell an invention for the statutory term, in exchange for publishing how it works. It requires novelty, an inventive step and industrial applicability under the Patents Act, 1970.

India is first-to-file, so the filing date is the asset — a provisional application secures priority while the invention is developed further. Patents are also frequently the thing an investor is really valuing in a technology business, and they can be licensed or assigned independently of the company.

The claims decide everything. They define the scope of protection, and drafting that is too narrow leaves competitors a lawful path around the patent permanently. We handle the search, the specification and claims, filing, publication, examination and the response to objections — and will tell you when an invention is not patentable rather than take you through the process to find out.

Why choose this

Benefits of Patent Registration

• A time-limited monopoly

  A granted patent excludes others from making, using or selling the invention for the statutory term.

• Commercial leverage

  Patents can be licensed or assigned, and are often the asset an investor is really valuing.

• Specification drafted properly

  The claims decide the scope of protection; weak drafting narrows the patent permanently.

• Priority date secured

  Filing establishes priority, which matters in a first-to-file system.
