Equity Governance Framework · Entry Layer

Patent Registration

Protect a genuine technical invention or process - prior-art search, careful claim drafting, and prosecution through to grant, done by people who understand both the tech and the law.

Novelty is essential

Public disclosure before filing (a talk, a demo, a publication) can destroy patentability.

Software patents are narrow

Pure software isn't directly patentable in India - claims need a demonstrable technical effect.

A 20-year process

Full grant can take 2–5 years, but protection is generally valid for 20 years from filing.

Start-up fee concessions apply

DPIIT-recognized startups get significantly reduced filing fees.

What's Included

From invention to granted patent.

01
Prior-art search

We assess novelty against existing patents and publications before filing.

02
Specification & claims drafting

Technical specification and claims drafted to maximize enforceable scope.

03
Filing & examination request

Application filed with the Patent Office, examination requested at the right time.

04
Prosecution through to grant

Office actions responded to and hearings attended until the patent is granted.

Where This Fits in the Equity Governance Framework

Part of Layer 1 - Entry, for both setup tracks.

Track 1
New Company Setup

We file before public disclosure risks novelty, and coordinate with your DPIIT recognition for fee concessions.

Track 2
Existing Company Setup

Core technology never patented? We assess your IP portfolio for patentable inventions during the diagnostic.

How We Support You

Filed to actually be enforceable.

Claims scoped for defensibility

We draft claims broad enough to matter and specific enough to survive challenge.

DPIIT fee concessions applied

If you're a recognized startup, we ensure the reduced fee schedule applies to your filing.

Tracked through years of prosecution

Patents take years - we track office actions and deadlines so nothing lapses along the way.

Common questions

Can we patent our software?

Pure algorithms and business methods generally aren't patentable in India, but software tied to a specific technical improvement or hardware effect can be.

Should we publicly demo our invention before filing?

No - public disclosure before filing can destroy novelty. Always file (or at least a provisional application) before any public demonstration.

How long does patent grant take?

Typically 2–5 years from filing to grant, depending on examination backlog and how quickly office actions are responded to.

File before your invention becomes public.
