Patent

A patent gives you the exclusive right to make, use and sell a new invention for a fixed period in India. Drafting and filing the application is technical work done by a registered patent agent; CA Dhiraj Ostwal supports you on everything around it, so that the process is organised and the costs are planned.

How we support you

• Understanding the invention and whether it is the kind of work a patent can protect
• Coordinating with a registered patent agent for the search, drafting and filing
• Planning the official fees and the stages of the application, including the examination request
• Guidance on lower official fees available to eligible startups, small entities and individuals
• Keeping records, deadlines and the ownership details in order, including inventors and the company
• Accounting and tax treatment of the cost of obtaining the patent

Before you disclose your idea

Publicly showing or selling an invention before filing can make it difficult to patent. Speak to us before a launch, a pitch or a publication, and we will help you plan the order of the steps.

Patent, trademark and design

A patent protects an invention, a trademark protects a name or logo, and a design registration protects the look of a product. We help you decide which protection fits your business and can take care of the trademark side directly.

Note: a legal title opinion or a court matter is given by an advocate; where your case needs one, we coordinate it with you and keep the tax and compliance side in one place.

Talk to CA Dhiraj Ostwal in India. Share your documents and your plan, and we will tell you what is needed, how long it takes and what it costs before you commit.

Documents you will need

• Description of the invention, with drawings or sketches if available
• Name, address and nationality of every inventor and applicant
• PAN and ID of the applicant; incorporation documents for a company or startup
• DPIIT recognition certificate, if the applicant is a recognised startup
• Earlier publications, sales or demonstrations of the invention, if any
• Power of authority for the patent agent
