A patent gives you twenty years of exclusive rights over your invention, the strongest protection intellectual property law offers. It is also the most technical to obtain: claims drafted poorly protect nothing, even if granted.
Krishna TaxNova coordinates the full patent journey with experienced patent professionals: prior art search, provisional and complete specification drafting, filing, examination responses and grant.
What is Patent Registration?
Patents under the Patents Act, 1970 protect inventions that are new, involve an inventive step and have industrial application. A provisional application secures your date while the invention is refined; the complete specification with claims must follow within twelve months. After publication and a request for examination, the office issues examination reports that must be answered before grant.
Who Should Apply for Patent Registration?
- Inventors and engineers with new products or processes
- Startups building defensible technology
- Manufacturers improving machines, materials or methods
- Research driven businesses and institutions

Patent Registration: Frequently Asked Questions
Can I patent an idea?
Not an abstract idea, but a concrete implementation, a product, process or method that is new and inventive, can be patented. We help convert concepts into patentable descriptions.
What is the benefit of a provisional application?
It locks your priority date at lower cost while you refine the invention, giving twelve months to file the complete specification. In fast moving fields, that date is everything.
Is software patentable in India?
Software as such is excluded, but software combined with hardware or producing a technical effect can be protected with careful claim drafting. This is a specialised area where drafting quality decides the outcome.
