About this template
What is this template?
This is a mandatory statutory filing form for the Indian Patent Office and not a private contract. It contains specific sections for the Title of the Invention, Preamble to the Description, and a list of Claims which define the scope of legal protection.
When should you use it?
Use this form when initiating a patent application or following up a provisional filing in India, rather than using a general IP Assignment or License Agreement.
Who it's for
- an inventor filing a provisional specification to establish a priority date in India
- a patent applicant submitting a complete specification within 12 months of a provisional filing
- a legal entity applying for patent protection under the Indian Patents Act 1970
