Found something close to your invention?

A pre-grant opposition can be filed at any point before a patent is granted, and the grounds are narrow and technical. If a published application overlaps with what you are working on, it is worth getting an attorney to read it early.

About this journal

What is the Patent Office Journal?

It is the official weekly publication of the Indian Patent Office. Applications are published in it eighteen months after their priority date, and granted patents are notified in it as well.

Why is publication important?

Publication is what makes an application public. From that date the applicant gets provisional rights, and anyone may file a pre-grant opposition at any time until the patent is granted.

What do the different parts contain?

Parts I to III carry patent matter — early publications, granted patents and official notices. Part IV carries design registrations, which are notified in the same journal rather than a separate one.

How do I check the status of my own application?

The journal shows what has been published, not live case status. For status on a specific application number, use the Patent Office e-register or ask us to check it for you.
