80% fee rebate for DPIIT startups — from prior art search to grant
Prior Art Search
We conduct a comprehensive search of patent databases (Espacenet, Google Patents, IP India) to assess novelty and patentability before filing.
Patent Drafting
Our patent professionals draft the complete patent specification — including abstract, description, drawings, and most importantly, the claims that define the scope of protection.
Provisional or Complete Application
A Provisional Application (without claims) can be filed to establish a priority date quickly, followed by a Complete Application within 12 months. Or we file directly with a Complete Application.
Publication
The application is published in the Official Journal 18 months after the filing date (or priority date). Applicants can request early publication.
Request for Examination
Examination is not automatic — you must file a Request for Examination (Form 18 or 18A for expedited). The examiner issues a First Examination Report (FER).
Grant
After responding to the FER and any objections, the patent is granted and published in the Official Journal. The patent is valid for 20 years from the filing date.
