Patent Complete Registration

A patent grants a 20-year exclusive right to an invention that is new, involves an inventive step and is capable of industrial application. The complete specification — with its claims — is the heart of the patent: it fully discloses the invention and defines the precise scope of the monopoly. Drafting it well is the difference between a strong, enforceable patent and a paper one. Under the Patents Act, 1970 (and the Patents Rules, 2003 as amended in 2024), the journey runs from a patentability and freedom-to-operate search, through specification drafting and filing of Forms 1, 2, 3 and 5, to the Request for Examination — now due within 31 months of the priority date under the 2024 amendment — and responses to the examination report, pre-grant opposition and grant. We manage the full prosecution to grant and beyond.
