Patent Office
Patent office is an office which has been established by the central government to look after all the matter concerning the grant of patents and maintenance of the register of the same. The head office of patent is situated at Kolkata with branch offices at three places namely Mumbai, Delhi and Chennai. The patent office is under the control of controller general of patents, designs and trademark. However as far as patent is concerned it shall be controller general of patents. It is to be noted that proceedings under 39, 65 and 125 shall take place at the head office and all other proceedings shall take place at appropriate offices within whose territorial limits the applicant normally resides or has a place of business or has originated the invention or has address of service in India. The decision given by the appropriate office shall not ordinarily change. There shall be an examiner of patents and other officer to assist the controller of patents. They will function under the superintendence and directions of the controller. Patent Office Search There are different types of search under patent Act. A patent search can be carried to determine developments in the field of science and technology or it can be carried to find, whether there is any invention or idea similar to the invention in question. The search conducted by the Patent office is the most trustworthy search. Thus before applying a patent application the most important aspect is to conduct a search so that time and money can be conserved. The search is conducted by the registered patent attorney who is a former patent officer of United States Patent and Trademark office. The cost for conducting a search is USD750 which includes review and discussion by the registered patent attorney pertaining to the invention in question. Thus conducting a search through patent office is a prudent investment of valuable legal budget. Business Query Form
