Intellectual Property
A patent application bearing Appl. No. 202121026173 was filed by Choubey & Co. in June 2021 with a provisional specification for a client based in Surendranagar, Gujarat. The complete specification was filed in July 2021 along with a Request For Expedited Examination (RFE). A first examination report (FER) was issued in August 2021, to which a detailed and comprehensive reply was promptly filed within 15 days. After filing of reply to the FER, the patent was directly granted in February 2022. In effect, the patent was granted within seven months of the filing of the RFE.
Utilizing the online e-filing and prosecution facilities enabled by the Indian Patent Office with its the state of the art IT infrastructure, the whole matter was seamlessly handled entirely remotely with the client based in Surendranagar, our patent attorneys based in Indore, Madhya Pradesh and the Indian Patent Office located in Mumbai, Maharashtra. No travel or posts were involved in the matter.
This case is an example of how far the Indian Patent Office and its practices have come towards digitization and enabling convenience for inventors and patent practitioners. This case is also exemplary in the sense that proper drafting and prosecution often lead to the minimization of the number of proceedings and the minimization of costs and time required for the grant of patents.
