Patent Process in India
Patents are essential for protecting inventions and innovations, granting exclusive rights to the inventor for a limited period. In India, the patent registration process involves several key steps :
1. Patentability Search
Conducting a comprehensive search to determine if the invention meets the criteria of novelty, inventive step, and industrial applicability. This helps assess the likelihood of obtaining a patent.
2. Patent Drafting
Drafting a patent application that clearly describes the invention, its features, and how it works. The application must comply with legal requirements and be supported by detailed drawings (if applicable).
3. Filing the Patent Application
Submitting the patent application to the Indian Patent Office (IPO). The application includes details about the inventor(s), title of the invention, abstract, and technical specifications.
4. Publication and Examination
The patent application is published in the Patent Office Journal after 18 months from the filing date or priority date (if claimed). Subsequently, the application undergoes substantive examination to assess patentability criteria.
5. Responding to Examination Reports
Addressing any objections or deficiencies raised by the Patent Office during examination. Legal Deed assists clients in preparing responses and amendments to overcome objections and secure patent registration.
6. Grant of Patent
If the application meets all requirements and objections are resolved satisfactorily, the Patent Office grants the patent. A patent certificate is issued, providing exclusive rights to the inventor to prevent others from making, using, selling, or importing the patented invention.
7. Maintenance and Renewal
Patents in India are valid for 20 years from the filing date, subject to payment of renewal fees. Legal Deed offers services for patent maintenance and renewal to ensure continued protection of our clients’ inventions.
