Know Before You File
A Patent Is a Journey, Not a One-Time Filing
Unlike a trademark or a registration, a patent moves through several stages over a few years — and fees arise at each stage. We believe you deserve to see the whole map before you start. Here's exactly how it works in India.
Patentability Search & Assessment
Before drafting, we check whether your invention is novel and patentable — saving you from investing in an application that can't succeed.
Provisional or Complete Specification
A provisional filing secures an early priority date if your invention is still evolving; a complete specification — with full description and claims — is what's ultimately examined for grant. Our ₹24,999 package covers complete specification drafting and filing.
Govt. fee from ₹1,600 (startup/individual)Publication
Your application is published in the Patent Journal around 18 months after filing. Early publication can be requested if you want to speed things up.
Request for Examination
Patents are not examined automatically — you must request examination within the prescribed window. Startups can opt for expedited examination to get a faster decision.
Govt. fee from ₹4,000 (startup/individual)Response to Examination Report (FER)
The examiner may raise objections on novelty or clarity. We help draft responses — the effort here depends on the objections raised, so this is quoted separately when it arises.
Grant & Renewals
Once granted, your patent protects your invention for 20 years from the filing date. Annual renewal fees apply from the third year onward to keep it in force.
Our promise on pricing: the ₹24,999 is our professional fee for drafting and filing your complete application. Government fees are small for startups and individuals and are billed separately at actuals. Later stages — examination, responding to objections, and renewals — are distinct steps we'll quote clearly as you reach them. No hidden surprises, ever.
Good News for Startups
The Government Wants You to Patent — and Helps Pay for It
If your business is a DPIIT-recognised startup, India's patent system is built in your favour. You pay a fraction of what large companies pay, and you get to the finish line years faster. We make sure you claim every benefit you're entitled to.
80%Lower Government Fees
DPIIT startups, MSMEs and individuals pay roughly 80% less in statutory fees than large entities — filing from about ₹1,600 instead of ₹8,000.
1–2 yrsFaster to Grant
Startups qualify for expedited examination, cutting the typical 3–5 year wait down to roughly 1–2 years — so your protection arrives sooner.
EligibilityWe Confirm & Claim It
The reduced fees require your DPIIT certificate at the time of filing — miss it and full fees apply with no refund. We make sure it's claimed correctly.
Also Worth Knowing: the SIPP Facilitator Scheme
Under the government's SIPP scheme, certain DPIIT startups can file through an empanelled facilitator whose professional fees are borne by the government — you pay only statutory fees. It's a real option, with its own process and conditions. During your free consultation, we'll tell you honestly whether the SIPP route or our full-service filing serves your invention better. We'd rather you make an informed choice than overpay either way.
Government incentives and schemes (including SIPP) are subject to current rules, eligibility and timelines set by the Government of India, and may change. We help assess your eligibility but cannot guarantee government approvals or scheme availability.
