Quick Answer
Jharkhand MSME Policy 2023 reimburses 50% of patent expenditure, up to INR 25 lakh per patent, for units patenting their own original work.
About this subsidy
Clause 6.5 of the Jharkhand MSME Promotion Policy 2023 offers financial assistance to units that successfully generate, register and get accepted a patent based on their own original work or research.
The State Government reimburses 50% of the expenditure incurred, up to a maximum of INR 25 lakh per patent. The support is split across the patent lifecycle: a maximum of INR 10 lakh may be given against expenditure on filing the patent, attorney fees, patent tracking and similar costs, and up to a maximum of INR 25 lakh on final acceptance of the patent.
Because the assistance is per patent, a unit that files multiple accepted patents can claim against each one separately.
