What's included
Everything in one transparent fee — no add-ons, no surprises.
Decades of Specialized Legal Expertise
Our team consists of highly qualified, registered patent attorneys and technical experts who possess decades of collective experience. We have successfully prosecuted thousands of patent applications across diverse technical fields including biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, software, mechanical engineering, and electronics, ensuring that every claim is drafted to maximize legal protection.
Comprehensive Prior Art Searches
We do not merely file paperwork; we conduct exhaustive global prior art searches using advanced proprietary databases. This rigorous preliminary analysis allows us to accurately assess the patentability of your invention, identify potential infringement risks, and strategically draft your claims to circumvent existing patents and ensure a higher probability of grant.
Flawless Technical and Legal Drafting
The strength of a patent lies entirely in its claims. Our technical drafting team works in tandem with legal experts to articulate complex scientific concepts into legally binding, defensible specifications. We meticulously craft both provisional and complete specifications to withstand intense scrutiny by patent examiners and potential competitors.
End-to-End Prosecution Support
Our engagement extends far beyond the initial filing. We represent you throughout the entire prosecution lifecycle, including responding to First Examination Reports (FERs), attending hearings at the patent office, and addressing examiner objections with compelling technical and legal arguments to secure your final patent grant.
Transparent and Fixed Pricing Structure
We believe in complete financial transparency. Our pricing models are straightforward, providing clear delineations between Professional fees and government statutory charges. You will never encounter hidden costs, unexpected billing, or opaque fee structures at any point during the patent registration process.
Robust Post-Grant Compliance Management
Securing a patent is only the beginning. We provide ongoing compliance management services to ensure your IP remains valid. This includes timely tracking and payment of annual renewal fees, as well as the preparation and filing of the mandatory Form 27 (Statement of Working) to prevent revocation or compulsory licensing.

Common mistakes to avoid
Avoidable filing errors that cause delays or rejection. Each can be resolved before submission.
- 1Mismatched applicant legal name or identity details across KYC proofsWhy: Government verification APIs cross-check with UIDAI and MCA databases and automatically flag discrepancies in spelling or dates.Fix: Our specialists pre-validate your documents against official government databases before portal filing.
- 2Submitting outdated utility bills or non-notarized commercial leasesWhy: Premises proofs older than 60 days or defective landlord NOCs trigger statutory scrutiny queries and multi-week processing delays.Fix: We verify recent billing dates and provide pre-formatted, legally vetted landlord NOC and lease formats.
- 3Selecting incorrect classification, turnover slab, or statutory activity codeWhy: Applications filed under inappropriate classifications attract show-cause notices and potential rejection without statutory fee refund.Fix: We conduct a statutory scope assessment to align your application with the exact regulatory requirements.
