Frequently asked questions

What can be patented in India?

Patents cover new, non-obvious inventions with industrial application. Software, business methods, and natural discoveries face limits—we work with patent agents on claim strategy.

Should I file a provisional or complete patent first?

Provisional secures a priority date quickly with lower cost; complete specification must follow within 12 months. We help stage filings aligned to product development milestones.

How long is patent protection valid?

Utility patents are generally protected for 20 years from filing, subject to annual renewal fees. We coordinate maintenance reminders with your patent counsel.

Do you guarantee patent grant?

No. Grant depends on examination and prior art. We strengthen disclosures, drawings, and office action responses but cannot control IPO outcomes.

Can I file internationally from an Indian application?

Yes, via Paris Convention priority or PCT routes. Deadlines are strict—we align Indian filing dates with your global expansion plan.
