What would it cost me to file a patent application in India?
The cost of filing a patent application in India, for an individual is Rs. 1750/- (paper filing) and request for examination is Rs. 4400/-(paper filing), whereas for online filing it is Rs. 1600/- and Rs. 4000/- respectively, but the applicant must have a digital signature to do that. For small entities, startups and other than natural persons (companies/institutions) the official fees will vary.Whenever, you thought of filing a patent, first thing you will consider is the cost to file (inclusive of official fees, and attorney fees), where the person feels the patent procedures are very strict and can be solved only by the attorney, but in reality, the patent procedures are so simple and Patent office promotes IPR filing (patents, trademarks, designs etc). The attorney shall charge minimum of Rs. 5000/- for patent filing and Rs. 30000/- for patent drafting.Any inventor who has invented something new, novel, but who is financially not supported, cannot afford such a huge amount from his pocket and his inventions are not protected in due time or else go in vain if he has not filed/protected his invention. The example case Student Engineers from Engineering colleges or Technical schools. The students really invent something new and come up with the solution to the identified problem. Such new concepts are not well protected for the country like India, who has a potential of generating more than 10 laks engineers per year.The inventions must be protected for the welfare of the country, otherwise, someone from USA or Japan or any other country will sell their own patented products in India, because India is a super market for global products.To overcome the myths in patent process in India, i came across, IPR ARENA a SAAS platform, can assist the inventors to file patent applications on their own, without any assistance from IPR attorney or patent agent, with a purchase of license at an affordable cost, may be Rs. 2000/- for the entire patent filing process along with official fees.IPR ARENA shall help to file patent applications in the student/academic community and encourages more IPR filings.

What is a provisional patent? How difficult is it to apply for one? What does it typically cost in the US?
There are three reasons to get one. First for early file date, second, to test or validate your idea for one year before you file officially your non-provisional which most likely will be for a utility patent and thirdly and most important IMHO, assuming your invention has potential value, to extend the publish date for an extra year. You don’t want the marketplace to see what you’re doing until you launch. I believe a patent application is published 1.5 years after filing. So a provisional gives you 2.5 years before anybody can learn your invention and strategy. Competitors study patent filings to determine strategies.You don’t need to file claims but you better file as detailed a description (standard 112) in your provisional as your official filing. This includes your background, summary, abstract, brief diagrams and description. Why? Because the patent examiner wants to see a purposeful attempt at commercialization, not a paper patent. Also, the examiners want to see the non-provisional very similar to the provisional. Know your standards. Subject mater, Novelty, Non-Obvious and Detailed Description. There are others as well, functionality and machine transformation.When you file officially, your claims should be somewhat broad but narrowly defined to the inventions specific function. Try to keep claims to 20. USPTO charges more over 20. What you don’t want is vague! This is where a good attorney comes in. Don’t go cheap here. Spend whatever time it takes to research attorney’s before you hire one. You are the CEO. They work for you. Make sure the attorney and firm have your inventions experience. A prosecutorial utility attorney is better served than any patent attorney or patent agent.Research published patents in your domain and learn the attorney and firm who prosecuted the patent. Contact them. Get your dream list together and then interview them. Don’t deny what’s in front of you. Make then earn your business.Your patent attorney is part of your founding IP legal team. Sell it that way. Your total IPR’s have value. Usually the only real property value you have until you launch and start generating revenue. Build a total IP strategy from day one. Patents, Trademarks, Copyrights, and Trade Secrets. And there is a fifth I call earned knowledge that has FMV. Never let anyone tell you different.

What is the steps to enroll as an advocate with Bar Council of India?
It is easier for Satan to get entry in heaven than a student get enrolled with Bar Councils.In Delhi the procedure goes somewhat like this. You have to buy a form for Rs. 1000/- fill your information in it and attach copies of your marksheets, degrees, etc. Then you need two lawyers with 10 years of standing who are not related to you and who will vouch for your honesty, integrity, and good moral character, if you don’t find anyone, you are screwed.Then you take the form along with your degrees, marksheets, and character certificates to the Bar council office, where you have to pay around 9000 rs./- more for registration and your documents are checked and you are given a fee slip. Keep it with your self till you get your enrolment certificate and bar id card.Now, if you are lucky (read if you have influence as in you know the top lawyers) your registration will happen in two days maximum and you may not actually need to go and collect the card and certificate, it will be home delivered to you. However, if you are a average student with no contact then you will have to go once again to face the interview. In the interview there will be a committee of sexist, classist, and casteist morons who size up the female candidates and talk rudely to scheduled caste and scheduled tribe students. However, don’t fret they can do nothing, you have already paid your fees and therefore, they can’t do much but try to harass you a little before doling out the enrolment.Before that interview a long speech by a senior buffoon of the bar will be given to you which essentially says that we have sucked this profession dry, we have made it a curse for people of India, and we have brought all the bad name to this profession, now it is your turn to do better or worse
