Overview

Patent filing or patent registration is the first step towards protecting the invention from being misused. Patent filing in India is quite a complicated process. However, with the right professional’s help, it can be done easily.

For any Invention to be qualify for patent filing, it must meet the basic three requirements
  • It must be novel and one among of its kind. This means that the actual invention must be new and there shouldn't be any existential trace of it
  • It must be unique in itself. An improvement in the current technology by an individual cannot be patented
  • It must be useful. It should add value to the lifetime of the commoner and it must not benefit or support the utilization of illegal things or must not be used for any immoral purpose


  • A patent after approval is valid for 20 years, after that the applicant can file for renewal of the same patent.
