Protect What You Build. Own What You Create. Scale It with Confidence.

Intellectual Property (IP) protects your original ideas, inventions, and brand identity from being copied or used without permission. It grants you exclusive legal rights to commercialize your creations, builds tangible asset value for your business, deters competitors, and creates a strong competitive advantage in the market.

Yes, absolutely. A single product can often be protected by multiple forms of IP simultaneously. For example, a new smartphone can have a Patent for its technical hardware, a Design Registration for its unique shape, a Trademark for its brand name, and Copyright for its software interface.

To be patentable, an invention must meet three mandatory criteria:

1. Novelty: It must be entirely new and not published or known anywhere in the world.

2. Inventive Step: It must not be obvious to someone skilled in that specific technical field.

3. Industrial Applicability: It must be capable of being manufactured or used in an industry.

In India, software code "per se" is generally protected under Copyright rather than a patent. However, if the software is coupled with hardware and produces a distinct "technical effect" or solves a technical problem, it can be patented under the category of a Computer Related Invention (CRI).

A patent typically lasts for 20 years from the date the application is filed, provided that the required renewal fees are paid on time. Once the 20-year term expires, the invention enters the public domain, meaning anyone can freely use, make, or sell it.

A Provisional Application is a preliminary filing used to quickly secure an early "priority date" while your invention is still in the testing or development phase. It does not require formal claims. A Complete Application is the final, detailed document containing specific legal claims. You must file the Complete Application within 12 months of the Provisional filing, or the application will be abandoned.
