About Patent Services
A patent gives the owner the exclusive right to make, use, sell or import an invention in India for 20 years from the filing date. It turns research and product work into an asset you can license, sell or use to raise funds.
NewStarts works with registered patent agents to take your invention from idea to application: a prior-art search, drafting of the specification and claims, filing on the Indian Patent Office portal, requesting examination and responding to objections until the patent is granted.
What is Patent Services?
A patent is a statutory right granted under the Patents Act, 1970 for an invention that is new, involves an inventive step and is capable of industrial application. Applications are filed with the Office of the Controller General of Patents, Designs and Trade Marks and examined before grant.

Filing can be done within one to two weeks once drafting is complete. Grant usually takes two to four years depending on examination, and can be faster with expedited examination where eligible.
