The Mumbai Patent Office, and who it covers
The Patent Office, Mumbai
Bouddhik Sampada Bhawan, near Antop Hill Post Office, S. M. Road, Antop Hill, Mumbai 400037.
Maharashtra, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Goa, Chhattisgarh
Plus Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu. So inventors in Mumbai, Pune, Ahmedabad, Surat, Vadodara, Indore and Goa are all Mumbai 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.
Mumbai situations we see every week
Ahmedabad and Surat inventors file in Mumbai
Gujarat has no patent office of its own, so its applications are examined in Mumbai (even though Gujarat trademarks go to the Ahmedabad registry).
Company and founder as co-applicants
The first-named applicant’s address fixes the office, so the order of names on Form 1 matters. We check it before filing.
You do not need to travel to Antop Hill
Filing is electronic and hearings are now usually held by video conference. What matters is the argument, and we make it.
