Frequently asked questions
Can software be patented in India?
Pure software 'per se' or business methods cannot be patented (Section 3(k)). However, software that produces a 'technical effect' or is tied to novel hardware often can. Our search defines this boundary.
Should I file a provisional or complete specification first?
File a provisional if you are still developing the invention. It's faster, cheaper, and secures your date while you finalize the tech. File complete if the product is 100% finished.
What does the whole process cost?
Government fees start around ₹1,600 for individuals/startups. Total professional costs depend heavily on the technology's complexity (mechanical vs biotech vs AI) — we quote fixed prices per stage.
