Patent Registration Process in India
Step 1: Conduct a Patent Search
A patent search ensures your invention is unique and not already patented. This step prevents future legal disputes and saves time and resources.
How to Conduct a Patent Search?
-
Use patent databases like IP India, WIPO, and USPTO
-
Analyze existing patents for similarities
-
Consult a professional for an in-depth search
Step 2: Prepare the Patent Application
Once the uniqueness of your invention is established, the next step is drafting a detailed patent application.
Types of Patent Applications
-
Provisional Application – Filed if the invention is in progress; secures an early priority date.
-
Complete Specification – Includes full details of the invention; required for final submission.
Required Documents
-
Patent application form
-
Detailed description with technical drawings
-
Inventor’s information and declaration
-
Patent claims defining scope of protection
Step 3: File the Patent Application
The application is submitted to the Indian Patent Office.
Filing Methods
-
Ordinary Application – For inventions developed entirely in India.
-
Convention Application – Filed within 12 months of an international patent application.
-
PCT International Application – Single filing for multiple countries.
-
PCT National Phase Application – Entering the Indian patent system after a prior PCT filing.
Step 4: Publication of the Patent Application
The patent application is automatically published in the Patent Journal after 18 months. Applicants can request early publication for faster processing.
Step 5: Patent Examination
A Request for Examination (RFE) must be filed within 48 months of the priority date. The examiner reviews the patent’s uniqueness and commercial viability.
Examination Process
-
The examiner issues a First Examination Report (FER) detailing objections, if any.
-
The applicant must respond within 6 months to resolve issues.
Step 6: Opposition and Grant of Patent
After examination, the application may face opposition from third parties.
Types of Opposition
-
Pre-Grant Opposition – Filed before the patent is granted.
-
Post-Grant Opposition – Filed within 12 months after the patent is granted.
If no valid opposition exists, the patent is granted and published in the Patent Gazette.
Step 7: Patent Renewal & Maintenance
A patent remains valid for 20 years from the filing date. To maintain it:
-
Renewal fees must be paid from the 3rd year onward.
-
If not renewed, the patent expires and enters the public domain.
