A patent grants you exclusive rights to your invention for a limited time, preventing others from making, using, or selling it without permission. It helps protect investment, attract partners, and increase market value.

Timelines vary by country and complexity. A basic timeline might be: filing, examination request, office actions, and grant — this can take anywhere from 1 to several years.

Patentable inventions generally include new and useful processes, machines, manufactures, or compositions of matter, and improvements of these — subject to novelty, inventive step, and industrial applicability.

Patent filing costs vary depending on the type of application (provisional vs. non-provisional), jurisdiction, professional fees, and examination charges, with provisional filings typically ranging from ₹10,000–₹20,000, while more complete patent filings may cost ₹30,000–₹80,000, and full prosecution or international filings incurring significantly higher expenses.

A provisional application secures an early filing date with lower formality and cost but does not itself lead to a granted patent. A non-provisional application begins substantive examination and is required to obtain a grant.
