The Chennai Patent Office, and who it covers
The Patent Office, Chennai
Intellectual Property Office Building, G.S.T. Road, Guindy, Chennai 600032.
Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana
Plus Puducherry and Lakshadweep. There is no patent office in Bengaluru or Hyderabad, so South Indian inventors are Chennai Patent Office cases.
Rule 4 of the Patents Rules
The applicant’s residence or principal place of business in India (the first-named applicant’s, if there are several). You cannot choose the office.

Filing is electronic and hearings are now usually held by video conference. What matters is the argument, and we make it.
