About this subsidy
The Haryana Startup Policy 2022, spearheaded by the Department of Industries & Commerce, Government of Haryana, and supported by Startup Haryana, serves as a comprehensive framework to foster innovation and entrepreneurship within the state. These government entities are dedicated to creating a supportive and thriving ecosystem for new enterprises, with a core focus on promoting technological advancements and protecting intellectual property. Their strategic vision aims to drive economic diversification, generate employment opportunities, and establish Haryana as a leading hub for startups in India.
Within this broader policy, the Patent Cost Reimbursement Scheme stands out as a crucial financial incentive. It is designed to alleviate the significant financial burden associated with securing intellectual property rights, thereby encouraging startups to innovate without undue cost constraints. The scheme offers comprehensive financial relief by covering 100% of the actual costs incurred during the patent filing process. This support is substantial, with each eligible startup able to receive up to ₹25,00,000 in reimbursement over the entire duration of the policy.
The scope of reimbursement is extensive, covering a wide array of essential expenses. These include professional fees charged by patent attorneys, official filing fees mandated by patent offices, examination charges, and various other statutory fees. Importantly, the scheme supports both domestic patent applications filed within India and international applications processed through global routes like the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) or directly in foreign jurisdictions. This broad coverage underscores Haryana's commitment to supporting startups with global aspirations. The support is applicable to product patents, process patents, and design registrations, as explicitly defined by the policy. Reimbursement can be claimed either upon the grant of the patent or, partially, at the initial filing stage, depending on the specific policy guidelines and milestones met by the applicant.
