Bengaluru patents are examined in Chennai
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.
Bengaluru situations we see every week
SaaS and AI inventions meet Section 3(k)
Computer-related inventions are examined for technical effect. We draft claims around what the system does to the machine or the data, not the business idea.
Company and founders 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 the office
Filing is electronic and hearings are now usually held by video conference. What matters is the argument, and we make it.
