About Patent Search
A patentable invention must be novel and non-obvious against everything already publicly known — a prior-art search confirms this before you spend on drafting and filing. We search Indian and international databases and report the findings in plain language.
IP filings are handled by our IP desk, which tracks every application in the IP India journal and alerts you to objections, oppositions and renewal dates.
