Tools
Applicant category finder
Natural person, startup, small entity, educational institution or standard applicant — find which official fee tier applies to your Indian patent filing, and what evidence you will need.
Answer the questions and the fee category and evidence requirements will appear here.
What this tool is, and is not. It applies general rules to what you type in. It cannot see your file, your applicant category, which amendment governs your application, or what the Patent Office has issued. Nothing here is a legal opinion or a diary entry. Have anything that matters confirmed by a patent professional against the instrument in force.
No rupee figures, deliberately. Fee schedules change by notification and depend on claims, pages, mode of filing and renewal year as well as category. This tool tells you which tier applies and what evidence you need. For amounts, use the official fee schedule.
