Non- Provisional Patent Drafting

A non-provisional patent draft is a techno-legal document describing the invention in-depth and discloses the best method of carrying out the invention. Thus, also known as a complete patent application.

It is directly filed before the patent office by either a patent agent or an inventor where the inventor wishes to protect the invention.

A Complete specification / non-provisional  specification can be filed with either of the following two options:

1. Direct filing – Complete specification is filed directly before the Indian Patent office without filing any corresponding provisional specification.

2. Subsequent filing-

  • The complete specification is filed subsequently after filing a corresponding provisional specification within 12 months of the provisional application.
  • Using the PCT route
