Patent Application Support: Prepare the Invention and Filing Record
Patent preparation starts with a clear technical account and a reliable filing history. This service helps organise the agreed stage of work: invention intake, search coordination, specification preparation or application handover. Search, drafting, filing and examination are separate deliverables, not an automatic all-inclusive package.

GET READY, ONE STEP AT A TIME
Your document starting point.
We’ll share an applicant-specific checklist after a short discussion. The exact records depend on your circumstances.
01
Confidential invention pack
Technical description, drawings and test observations
Known publications, products or search reports
Disclosure history including demonstrations, offers and publications
02
Applicant and inventor records
Inventor names and contributions
Applicant identity and the basis for entitlement
Relevant employment, assignment or collaboration records
03
Existing matter handover
Filed forms and specifications, not just an application number
Acknowledgements, priority details and correspondence
Examination requests, reports, replies and open deadlines where applicable
Check your document readiness
Before your first conversation
A useful start. No phone number needed.
Organise your business facts and get a checklist to discuss with our team.

We prepare, coordinate and track the agreed work. You stay involved in the decisions that matter.
01
Agree secure intake
Define the initial information needed and collection route.
02
Reconstruct the matter
Organise records by stage and flag missing documents.
03
Approve the deliverable
Coordinate the agreed draft or filing pack.
04
Close the handover gap
Provide the agreed records and next-action list.
Timing agreed after document review
Agree preparation milestones after reviewing the invention and existing record. The Patent Office filing guidance separates application filing from a request for examination. Current Rule 24B includes a transitional provision, so the actual filing and priority history must be checked before setting the examination deadline.
KNOW EXACTLY WHERE YOU STAND
Clear scope. No surprises.
The written engagement confirms your deliverables and costs before work starts.
Service scope to agree
Prepare a stage-specific record checklist
Identify missing technical and ownership inputs
Coordinate the search or drafting work specified in writing
Support authorised filing and acknowledgement handover if included
Record unresolved issues and responsibility for later actions
Outside the standard scope
—Unspecified patentability, validity or infringement opinions
—Patent-agent credentials or availability assumed without confirmation
—Foreign filings, litigation or licensing contracts unless included
Describe the field, business objective, current filing stage and any urgent date without revealing the invention itself. Agree confidential intake before supplying technical material.
Can you take over an existing application?+
Start with the complete filing and correspondence record. Responsibility, authority to act and outstanding deadlines need confirmation before a handover is accepted.
Does a search establish that a patent will be granted?+
No. Define the search question and its limitations. Filing, examination and the authority's decision are separate from an earlier search deliverable.
Does filing request examination automatically?+
No. Examination requires its own request under the applicable procedure; confirm whether preparing and monitoring that request is included.
The applicant and relevant inventors should check that the draft accurately describes the invention. Agree the appointed drafter and any professional review explicitly; this page does not name or endorse a reviewer.
What should I receive at handover?+
Request the submitted documents, acknowledgement, included correspondence, unresolved issues and a written allocation of the next actions. Payment alone is not a filing record.

Question
What matters
Next step
Current stage
Identify whether there is no filing, a provisional, a complete application or an examination report.
Bring the existing reference and dates before commissioning duplicate work.
Technical explanation
Describe the problem, proposed solution, operation and known alternatives.
A pitch deck may omit the details a specification needs.
Search scope
Agree the question and deliverable for any prior-art search.
Search coordination is not a patentability or freedom-to-operate opinion.
Responsibility
Confirm who drafts, approves, submits and monitors each stage.
Verify the appointed professional's role and credentials before engagement.
Fee details, estimates & quote variables
₹5,000. Professional fee. Applicable GST, government charges and agreed third-party costs are extra.
One specified service engagement. Confirm the applicant, deliverables and exclusions in writing before work starts.
Ask for separate professional, GST and official-charge lines. The applicant category and requested actions matter. A preparation fee should not be read as including every future publication, examination, response or renewal step.
Technical complexity and document readiness
Existing filing and search history
Drafting and illustration requirements
Stages of prosecution expressly included
Agree preparation milestones after reviewing the invention and existing record. The Patent Office filing guidance separates application filing from a request for examination.
