A patent protects a technical invention, not a business idea and not software that is only a business method. We assess patentability in plain language before drafting. If we proceed, the complete specification includes claims, a detailed description and drawings, and is filed at the Indian Patent Office. Request for examination, publication and the first examination report are later, billed stages — we do not hide them inside a filing quote.

Questions people ask
Do you guarantee the patent will be granted?
No. Examination can refuse or narrow claims. What we guarantee is a careful draft and an honest view before you spend the fee.
