Innovation is the cornerstone of growth in today’s rapidly evolving economy. To safeguard your intellectual property and maintain a competitive edge, securing a patent for your invention is essential. At Shiromani Associates, we provide expert assistance in the Patent Registration process, ensuring your invention is legally protected under the Indian Patent Act, 1970.
A patent is an exclusive legal right granted by the government to an inventor for a novel product, process, or service. It provides the inventor with the sole authority to manufacture, use, and sell the invention for a limited period—typically 20 years from the filing date—while preventing others from exploiting it without consent.
The key criteria for patentability include:
Novelty: The invention must be new.
Inventive Step: It must involve a technical advancement or economic significance.
Industrial Applicability: It should be capable of industrial application.
Upon successful registration, the inventor is legally protected against infringement and gains significant commercial and competitive advantages.
Step 1: Patentability/Novelty Search
We begin by conducting a comprehensive patent search to determine whether your invention is unique and qualifies for protection.
Step 2: Drafting of Patent Application
Our experts help prepare a well-structured and legally sound patent specification, including technical details and claims.
Step 3: Filing of Patent Application
We file the patent application with the appropriate jurisdiction, along with all supporting documents and necessary forms.
Step 4: Publication of Patent
The application is published in the official patent journal after 18 months, making it publicly available.
Step 5: Examination Request & Report
A formal request is made for examination. The Controller of Patents reviews the application and issues an examination report with observations or objections, if any.
Step 6: Hearing with the Patent Controller
If objections arise, a hearing may be scheduled. Our professionals represent and assist you in addressing any issues raised during this stage.
Step 7: Grant of Patent
Upon successful resolution of all objections and compliance with statutory requirements, the patent is granted and published in the Patent Gazette.
