Utility Patent application made easy

A utility patent protects how inventions works. It covers inventions that do something useful. This can include machines, methods, tools, or improvements to existing products. In India, it’s simply called a “patent.”

If your invention solves a problem or performs a function, it may qualify. You can patent machines, processes, software with technical effects, and even hardware products. The key is that it must work and be useful.

No, you don’t. You just need a clear explanation of how your invention works. Drawings or sketches can help, but a working prototype isn’t required to apply.

A patent is valid for 20 years from the date of filing. But it must be renewed every year by paying a nominal government fee.

Only if the software does more than just run on a computer. If it produces a technical result or solves a technical problem, it might be allowed. Otherwise, pure software is not patentable under Indian law.

Your invention must be new. It must involve an inventive step and not be obvious to others in your field. It should also be useful in some kind of industry. And it must not fall into India’s list of excluded items under the patent law.

A provisional application is like reserving your spot. It gives you an early filing date but isn’t examined. You’ll have to file the complete specification within 12 months. That version is detailed and includes your claims. Without it, the patent process can’t move forward.

It varies. After filing, your application is published around 18 months later. You can request an early examination. If everything goes well, you may receive your patent in about 3 to 5 years. Faster processing is possible with expert help.

You’ll need:

• • A detailed description of your invention
• • Any relevant drawings or diagrams
• • Forms like Form 1 and Form 2 under the Indian Patents Act, 1970.
• • Inventor details and a declaration of inventorship

Government fees depend on who’s applying. For individuals and startups, it starts from ₹1,600. For large companies, it can go up to ₹8,000. Legal or agent fees are separate. But you can start your application with no upfront payment on Trademarkia.

You might still be able to file - but only if it was within the last 12 months. Public disclosure after that will make your invention unpatentable in most countries. Always file early to be safe.

Yes. All your details are kept private. The platform is secure, and only professionals who handle your patent will access your information.

You get the legal right to stop others from using or copying your invention. The patent will be published in the official journal. To keep it active, you’ll need to renew it every year. You can license it, sell it, or enforce it through the courts.

Yes. You can file in other countries within 12 months by claiming your Indian filing as the “priority date.” You can use either the PCT route (to file in many countries at once) or direct filing in selected countries. Our experienced team at Trademarkia can help with this.

India follows a first-to-file rule. The person who files first gets the rights - even if both inventors made the same thing. That’s why it’s important to file as early as possible.
