Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of expenses are covered under this reimbursement scheme?
The scheme covers expenses directly incurred for the registration of patents. This typically includes official patent filing fees, professional charges for patent agents or attorneys, and other related costs necessary for securing a patent certificate.
Which types of units are eligible to apply for this reimbursement?
Units involved in patent registration for products specifically within the IT sector are eligible. Furthermore, these products must be recognized by the relevant Ministry of the Government of India to qualify for the scheme.
Is there a maximum limit for the reimbursement amount?
The scheme offers reimbursement 'up to 100% of the expenses incurred.' While there is no fixed maximum INR amount stated, it implies that all verifiable and eligible expenses can be covered, provided they fall within reasonable limits and are approved by the sanctioning authority.
Do I need to have an already approved patent to claim the reimbursement?
Yes, the policy explicitly states that reimbursement can be claimed 'upon receiving a patent certificate.' This means that the patent registration process must be successfully completed, and the patent granted, before the expenses can be reimbursed.
Is this scheme open to startups across India?
This incentive is part of the Chhattisgarh Industrial Development Policy 2024-30, indicating that it is primarily intended for units operating or looking to establish in Chhattisgarh. Specific residency or operational requirements within the state would typically apply for such state-specific policies.
