Frequently asked — by foreign applicants
Yes — every foreign applicant must appoint an Indian patent agent / trademark attorney whose address is used for all official correspondence with the IPO. We provide this address-for-service for all rights.
31 months from the earliest priority date. India does not allow late entry on payment of fees — the deadline is strict. We recommend instructions at least 4 weeks before.
Yes. Foreign individuals and entities can own Indian IP outright in their own name. No local subsidiary or licensee is required.
Indian POAs for patents and trademarks must be signed and stamped (Rs.100 stamp paper) but generally do NOT require notarization or apostille — a significant simplification versus many jurisdictions.
English. All filings, prosecution and correspondence are conducted in English — no translation overhead for US, EU or Japanese applicants whose specs are already in English.
Trademarks: 12–24 months to registration in straightforward cases. Patents: typically 3–5 years from request for examination, faster under expedited examination (available for applicants from select countries and for startups/SMEs).
