Patents at VS Arora & Co.

A patent gives you the exclusive right to make, use and sell your invention for up to 20 years. In today's fast-moving market, timing is everything — the first to file wins. Delay can mean losing your patent rights entirely if a competitor files first or if your invention enters the public domain.

Our patent team includes experienced patent agents and attorneys with technical expertise across engineering, pharma, software, electronics and agri-biotech. We draft strong specifications that maximise claim scope, manage prosecution efficiently and represent you at the Patent Office hearings and in court if needed.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Q

What can be patented in India?

A

Inventions that are new, involve an inventive step and are capable of industrial application can be patented. Software per se, mathematical methods and business methods are generally not patentable, but software embedded in hardware or with a technical effect may qualify.

Q

How long does it take to get a patent in India?

A

Indian patent prosecution typically takes 3–6 years from filing to grant. Filing a request for expedited examination can reduce this to 1–2 years in eligible cases (startups, women inventors, government institutions, etc.).

Q

Should I file a provisional or complete application first?

A

A provisional application secures your priority date quickly (without a full specification) and gives you 12 months to file the complete specification. It is ideal when your invention is still evolving.

Q

What is PCT filing?

A

A PCT (Patent Cooperation Treaty) application lets you file a single international application that establishes a filing date in 150+ countries simultaneously, giving you 30 months to decide which countries to enter nationally.

Q

Can I patent software in India?

A

Pure software is not patentable, but software that has a technical character — for example, a method that improves hardware performance — may qualify. We assess your software invention carefully before advising on the best protection strategy.
