Patent Registration in India is the legal process of protecting a new invention or technical process under the Patents Act, 1970. Any inventor or business with a genuinely new product, process, or technical solution needs it.

Government fees start from Rs 1,600 for individuals, DPIIT-recognised startups, and MSMEs filing online, and from Rs 8,000 for companies, LLPs, and other large entities, with professional charges on top of these government fees.

The procedure runs through 7 stages: patentability search, drafting the specification, filing Form 1, publication, Request for Examination, responding to the examination report, and finally grant.

To register patent in India, Tax Robo first runs a patentability search, drafts your specification, and files Form 1 with the Indian Patent Office, then tracks your application through examination until grant.

Typical timeline to grant is 2-5 years, or 1-2 years with expedited examination for DPIIT-recognised startups. A granted patent is valid for 20 years from the filing date, subject to annual renewal fees from the 3rd year.

Yes, Patent Registration is filed centrally with the Indian Patent Office, so Tax Robo handles it 100% online for clients in Chennai and anywhere else in India.

You will need ID proof, address proof, business registration details, and a description or drawings of your invention, along with a passport-size photograph of the applicant.
