Tips on Field Searching


This page contains tips on the use of fields in your searches. In case of any problem, please mail
to bali@hub.nic.in.

To make field searching easier, we've compiled a list of all the available fields.This contains
information about each, and tips on their use.

Indian Patents (Amendment) Rules, 2014


Recently the Indian Patent Office published the Indian Patents (Amendment) Rules, 2014 which
have come effective from Friday, 28th of February, 2014.
The new amendments rules are subsequent to the previously published Patents (Amendment)
Rules 2005, dated 28-12-2004; The Patents (Amendment) Rules 2006, dated 05-05-2006; The
Patent (Amendment) Rules, 2012 and Gazette Notification of Patent (Amendments) Rules
2013.
This article captures some of the important salient features of the Patent Rules 2014.
1. The new Rules introduce a third category of applicant under Rule 2(da), wherein person
other than a natural person shall include a "small entity".
The definition of a small entity has been included under Rule 2 (fa), wherein "small
entity" means:
i.

ii.

in case an enterprise engaged in the manufacture or production of goods, an


enterprise where the investment in plant and machinery does not exceed the limit
specified for a medium enterprise under clause (a) of subsection (1) of Section 7
of The Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Development Act, 2006 (27 of
2006);
Accordingly as per this those enterprises will be considered as "small entity"
wherein the investment of such an enterprise in plant and machinery does not
exceed INR 100,000,000 Crore (approximately USD 1,636,000).
in case of an enterprise engaged in providing or rendering of services, an
enterprise where the investment in equipment is not more than the limit specified
for medium enterprises under clause (b) of sub-section (1) of Section 7 of the
Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Development Act, 2006 (27 of 2006).

Accordingly as per this those enterprises will be considered as "small entity"


wherein the investment of such an enterprise in equipment does not exceed INR
50,000,000 (approximately USD 82,000);
2. The basic fee for filing a patent application has been revised and is now also based on the
criterion whether the applicant lodges an application with Indian Patent Office through efiling or in a physical form (i.e. submits physical copy of the application). The basic
filing fee for the e-filing is cheaper than the physical filing of the application. The basic
fee includes an application comprising 30 pages of specification and 10 claims.
The revised fee structure for basic filing fee of the application is follows as below:
i.

For a natural person making an e-filing the basic filing fee has been raised by
60% from INR 1000 (approximately USD 16) to INR 1600 (approximately USD

26) and for physical filing basic filing fee has been raised by 76% from INR 1000
(approximately USD 16) to INR 1760 (approximately USD 29);
ii.
For persons other natural persons which includes the small entity and others
except the small entity (i.e. the Large Entity), the basic e-filing fee for small
entities is INR 4000 (USD 65) and for physical filing the basic fee is INR 4400
(USD 72); whereas for the large entity the basic e-filing fee has been increased by
100 % i.e. from INR 4000 (USD 65) to INR 8000 (USD 131) and for physical
filing the basic fee has been raised by 110% from INR 4000 (USD 65) to INR
8800 (USD 144).
3. The Small entities need to submit form 28 along with proof of small entity status at every
stage where the fee applicable for a small entity is claimed. However, the notification by
Controller General clarifies that at least once the Form 28 should be filed with each
application number to be qualified as Small Entity status.
4. The amended rules provide for 10% additional fee when the applications for patent and
other documents are filed through the physical mode, i.e., in hard copy format as opposed
to the online mode.
5. A new Form 7 (A) has been provided for filing "Representation Opposing Grant Of
Patent" under sub-section (1) of Section 25 and sub-rule (1) of Rule 55 of the principal
rules. However no fee shall be payable for the same.
