Introduction

What Is Patent Registration?

Benefits

Documents

Process

Conclusion

Introduction

A med-tech founder from Bengaluru approached me long ago after losing his innovation to a competitor who reverse-engineered and launched it first. He had a great concept. The product was ready for the market. He waited three months on his Patent Registration—the three months cost him his first-to-market advantage and a very important round of investor funding.

This scenario keeps happening throughout the Indian startup ecosystem.

If you are designing molecules in Hyderabad, writing software in Pune, or creating a manufacturing process in Gurugram, your first business strategy should be to secure legal ownership. Patent protection is not a regulatory compliance issue. It is a barrier to imitation, a multiplication factor for valuation, and a tool for negotiating license agreements.

This will explain Patent Registration clearly and practically: the Patent Registration Process, Patent Registration Documents, real timelines, fees, what to avoid, and professionally from hundreds of successful filings.

What Is Patent Registration?

The legal procedure of obtaining a patent grants the inventor rights deductive of others to make, sell, use, or benefit from the invention without consent. This means that the inventor secures the full patent rights to prevent others from making, selling, copying, importing, making money off of, and so on, for the invention.  Patent registration allows a technical concept to become a legally protected business asset. 

In India, patents are granted and are administered under the Patents Act, 1970, which is aligned with the international standards of TRIPS for global patent protection.  This allows the inventor to further develop their app, continually expand, and make international filings for patents across the globe.

What is a Patent?

A patent is a right given by the government to protect your invention. If you receive a patent, you have the right to make, use, sell or otherwise license to use the invention. A patent also gives you the right to prevent others from copying your invention or commercially benefiting from it without your approval. In India, a patent term is granted for twenty years starting from the date that the patent application is filed. 

As a threshold to being patentable, the topic of the invention must be: 

  • New and never disclosed to the public
  • Inventively technical beyond what is already publicly known 
  • Able to be used industrially

Once the patent is granted, your idea becomes a commercially protectable asset which allows the inventor a market advantage and business opportunities.

Benefits of Patent Registration Online

Securing a patent online enables inventors to gain exclusive legal protections over their invention with no geographical restrictions or possible processing delays. It is the first step towards converting an idea into unique, protected business assets, while improving security and profitability.

The primary benefits of obtaining Patent Registration online in India are:

Exclusive rights:

Once a patent is granted, the inventor alone has control over the manufacturing, use, sale, and licensing of the invention. Competitors are not allowed to duplicate or take commercial advantage of the invention without authorization. This means the inventors have strong protection of their commercial interests.

Monetization:

Patents provide inventors with the potential to generate income beyond just the sale of their potential product.

Inventors can license the use of their technology, or sell their patent rights altogether, generating additional income streams, while retaining ownership of the technology if desired.

Increased business value:

Patented innovation has potential to increase business valuations, and can also provide increased credibility to an inventors’ capabilities.

Investors and strategic partners see patents as confirmation of innovative capabilities and as a possible sign of future growth potential. Patent protection is a unique asset, which differentiates you and your business from other competitors in a proposed marketplace.

Competitive advantage:

Patent protection provides the necessary barrier to entry.

When a product or process has obtained some level of legal protection, competitors are dissuaded from copying or reverse engineering the patented technology. This provides the patent holder with a distinct advantage over other competitors in the marketplace.

Eligibility Criteria for Patent Registration

For an invention to be eligible for Patent Registration in India, it must satisfy the standards laid down under the Patents Act, 1970. The invention should demonstrate genuine technical innovation and offer practical industrial use. Below are the key conditions to qualify:

Key Patentability Requirements

Novelty – The invention must be entirely new and not publicly disclosed anywhere before filing. Inventive Step – It should show a technical advancement that is not obvious to a skilled person in the field. Industrial Applicability – The invention must be capable of being manufactured or used in an industry.

Checklist of What Can Be Patented in India

  1. Products
     Unique and innovative products such as gadgets, mechanical devices, chemical compositions, pharmaceuticals, medical tools, etc.
  2. Processes or Methods
     Novel manufacturing processes, industrial mechanisms, or operational techniques that improve efficiency or solve an existing problem.
  3. Machines
     Functional systems or machines with distinctive working principles or improved mechanisms.
  4. Chemical Formulations & Compositions
     New chemical entities, formulations, drug molecules, or modified compounds with proven technical benefits.
  5. Biotechnology and Software-Based Innovations
     Biotech inventions, microbial processes, and software-related innovations with a technical contribution or hardware integration can be patentable.

Documents Needed for Patent Registration

  • Identity and address proof of inventor/applicant
  • Provisional or Complete Specification with drawings
  • Claims and Abstract of the invention
  • Declaration of Inventorship (Form-5)
  • Proof of right/assignment deed (if applicant is not inventor)
  • Request for Examination (Form-18 / 18A)
  • Power of Attorney (if filing through Patent Agent)
  • Priority documents (for PCT/Convention filings)
  • Startup/MSME certificate (if applicable)
  • NBA approval for use of Indian biological material

Procedure for Registration of Patent Online

The online patent registration process in India is a step-by-step procedure as provided in the Patents Act, 1970. Below are the major steps of the process: 

Step 1: Patent Search

Conduct a search on any other patents or prior art to ensure that the invention is new and therefore patentable. 

Step 2: Prepare the Patent Application

Prepare either a Provisional or Complete Specification which includes claims, drawings, and technical details. 

Step 3: File the Application Online 

Complete and file the application and required forms along with the government fee at the Indian Patent Office. 

Step 4: Publication of Application 

The application will be published in the patent journal, typically within eighteen months or less time frame if a request for early publication is submitted. 

Step 5: Request for Examination 

A Request for Examination needs to be filed in the prescribed time-frame before the patent will be formally examined by the Patent Office. 

Step 6: Respond to Objections 

If any query or objection is raised during the examination process, you will be required to comply with addressing such request. 

Step 7: Grant of Patent

Once the examination is completed and granted, the patent will be formally published in the Patent Journal upon meeting the relevant criteria.

Types of Patent Registration in India

Different patent application types exist to match the stage of innovation and protection strategy. Below are the primary types of Patent Registration in India:

Provisional Patent Application

A provisional application allows inventors to secure an early priority date even if the invention is not fully developed. The complete specification must be filed within 12 months to retain priority.

Complete Patent Application

This includes the full technical details, drawings, and claims that legally define the invention. Once granted, the patent is protected for 20 years from the filing date.

Ordinary Patent Application

Filed without claiming priority from any earlier application in another country. Commonly used for inventions first conceived and developed in India.

Convention Patent Application

Filed within 12 months of applying in a convention country. It allows the applicant to claim priority from the foreign application and secure international recognition.

Patent of Addition

Used when improvements or modifications are made to an already patented invention. It does not require the same level of inventive step as the main patent and expires along with it.

Divisional Patent Application

Filed when a single application contains multiple inventions. It allows each distinct invention to be protected separately without losing the original filing date.

PCT National Phase Application

Filed in India after submitting an international application under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT). It enables inventors to seek patent protection in India based on a global priority filing.

Key Features of Patent Registration in India

  • Exclusive rights to make, use, sell, and license the patented invention
  • Valid protection for 20 years from the filing date, subject to renewals
  • Publication of the application after 18 months, ensuring transparency
  • Option to extend protection internationally through PCT filing routes
  • Invention must be new, original, and not publicly disclosed anywhere
