Patentability Criteria
An invention must be novel, involve an inventive step, and be industrially applicable. Certain subject matters are excluded under Indian patent law, including abstract business methods and mathematical methods in isolated form.
Provisional vs Complete Specification
Startups often file a provisional specification first to secure a priority date, then submit complete specification within 12 months. Draft quality is crucial because claim scope determines long-term protection and enforcement strength.
