Why Patent Protection Matters
Your invention is the result of your hard work, innovation, and investment. Patent protection gives you the excclusive right to make, use, sell, or license your innovation, preventing others from copying or profiting from your ideas. A granted patent strengthens your competitive edge, adds value to your business, and opens doors to new opportunities.
- Exclusive Rights – Prevent other from making, using, selling, or importing your invention without permission.
- Innovation Incentive - Reward your creativity and efforts with legal recognition and protection.
- Market Advantage - Stand out from competitors and establish leadership in your industry.
- Revenue Opportunities - License your patent, attract investors, and create new income streams.
- Legal Protection – Strong enforcement rights to take action against infringement and protect your interests.

Patent Search & Patentability Analysis
A Patentability Search is the foundation of a strong and successful patent application. Before investing valuable time and resources into drafting and filing, it is crucial to determine whether your invention is truly novel and has not already been disclosed in existing patents or published materials. This involves a comprehensive search of existing patents, published patent applications, and non-patent literature across global databases to identify similar or prior inventions.
A thorough Patentability Search offers a clear strategic roadmap — whether it involves refining your concept, modifying specific features, or confidently moving forward with drafting and filing. More than just a preliminary step, it is a smart investment that saves costs, minimizes legal risks, and enhances the overall success of your patent journey.
At BizSec Advisors, we conduct a comprehensive patentability search across Indian, Google, U.S., European, WIPO, and other global patent databases, as well as scientific journals, technical literature, and industry-specific publications. This exhaustive approach ensures that no relevant prior art is overlooked.
Our experienced team carefully analyzes the search results to assess the novelty, inventive step, and industrial applicability of your invention. The detailed report we provide highlights the strengths of your idea along with novelty features in the proposed solution (compared to conventional solutions) while identifying potential risks, overlaps, or objections. This insight allows you to make informed decisions and significantly reduces the likelihood of rejection during prosecution.
Patent Drafting Services
A Patent Draft is a techno-legal document from a problem-solution. The Patent draft includes field of invention, background of the invention, objective, summary, a detailed description and the corresponding drawings to explain working of invention. It also contains the working examples and the best methods to perform an invention so that a skilled person can perform the invention.
While drafting a Patent Application, there are 3 main aspects (shared below) that needs to be covered mandatorily. These are very critical for any invention to be granted as a Patent –
- Novelty
- Inventive Step / Non Obviousness
- Industrial Applicability / Utility
An invention must be new, non-obvious for a person skilled in the art and useful in any industry to qualify for a patent.
Another most critical part of a complete patent specification is Claims, as they legally define the scope, extent, and boundaries of the patent protection. In short, the claims must satisfy three fundamental patentability criteria and determine actual legal rights of the patentee.
At BizSec Advisors, we provide timely and accurate filing with an assurance about compliance & legal requirements and preserve the inventor's rights in competitive markets.
Patent Application Filing in India
Patent Application Filing refers to formal submission of a patent application to the Indian patent office. The filing of the patent application establishes the priority date of any application for determining ownership.
The Application may be filed in multiple jurisdictions (USPTO, EPO, JPO) by an Indian Applicant via the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) Route or the Paris Convention Route for strategic global protection and cost management, depending on their business objectives and commercialization plans.
There are 2 types of patent applications –
- Provisional Patent Application – A Provisional Application provides an opportunity to the inventors to protect their idea of invention (when the invention itself is not fully developed yet). Based on the concept of "first-to-file" priority (a key aspect of US law), this provides a strategic advantage (i.e. early filing date) to the inventors against their competition. The inventor will then have 12 months time to develop the invention and file a Complete Patent Application.
- Complete Patent Application – A complete patent application is the full, detailed document needed for full patent rights. Section 10 of India's Patents Act, 1970 mandates that a complete patent specification must fully describe the invention, its operation, use, and the best method known to the applicant for performing it, enabling a skilled person to reproduce it. Key components include the field of invention, background, summary, drawings, description and claims. Claims define the actual scope of the invention. A complete application once filed cannot be amended.
Applicants can file a complete application within 12 months of a related provisional application to benefit from its earlier filing date, or they can file a complete application directly.
List of documents required to file a Patent Application:
- Application Form
- Provisional / Complete Specification
- Corresponding Drawings
- Power of Attorney (when filed through a Certified Patent Attorney or Agent)
- Priority Documents (if filed outside India)
- Inventors' Declaration
- Foreign Filing Details
- Assignment Details
Publication of Patent Application
The Indian Patent Office automatically publishes the Patent Application after the expiry of 18 months from the date of filing or priority date, whichever comes earlier. The Patent Application is published in the Official Patent Office Journal to make the invention available to the public.
How to expedite the Publication – An applicant / Certified Patent Attorney can request to expedite the publication by filing Form 9 along with the fees (₹ 2,500/-). This leads to the patent application being published within 1–2 months from the date of request.
Important note – When an application is filed and subsequently published, the applicant obtains the same rights as that of a patent holder, but these rights are limited and conditional. The applicant cannot file an infringement suit, but the applicant can claim reasonable compensation.
Patent Prosecution & Examination Support
The examination of an Application does not start automatically after publication. The Applicant (or a Certified Patent Attorney) formally requests examination within 31 months from the date of filing or priority date, whichever is earlier.
Patent Prosecution includes generation of a First Examination Report (FER) having objections regarding novelty, inventive step, clarity, or formal requirements.
The Patent Controller may call for a hearing (either in person or through video conferencing) to seek clarification on objections raised in the examination report or to better understand certain aspects of the invention, claims, or legal arguments. The examiner may also suggest some amendments to the claims or specification to overcome objections.
At BizSec Advisors, we submit the response with strong legal arguments and technical understanding to secure the broadest possible protection for the invention. We also file the written submission as per discussion with the controller, within 15 days from the date of hearing.
Please note – There is a process to expedite this examination for which a request needs to be filed by specific eligible applicants under Rule 24C of The Patents Rules, 2003, by filing Form 18A. This request places the application in a separate, faster queue leading to examination in the next 3–4 months. Startups, educational institutions, female natural persons, government departments etc. are eligible to request expedited examination.
Grant of Patent
This is the last step.
Once the applicant responds in kind to the examiner's report and has made the necessary changes, the applicant is put up for a grant and a Patent Certificate is issued in the name of the applicant. This is how a typical Patent Grant Certificate looks like.
Patent Renewal & Maintenance
It is an important step to keep the Patent in Force throughout its term. The patent holder has to pay the renewal fees every year, failing which the patent may lapse and enter the public domain.
At BizSec Advisors, we intimate our clients from time to time to ensure uninterrupted patent protection, supporting long-term commercialization strategies.
International Patent Filing Services
There is no global patent that exists.
The applicant carefully identifies and selects potential business and commercialization countries before entering national phases or filing conventionally. This decision is typically based on factors such as target markets, manufacturing locations, competitors' presence, enforcement strength, costs, and long-term business strategy.
Each patent application is examined independently under the laws and procedures of the local jurisdiction where protection is sought.
At BizSec Advisors, we assist our clients with associates in their potential business countries who can help to achieve their global business objectives.
