PCT National Stage Filing India is the process where an international patent application filed under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) enters the Indian jurisdiction. This step is crucial for applicants who wish to secure patent protection in India after the international phase. To proceed, the application must be filed with the Indian Patent Office within 31 months from the priority date of the initial application.
During national stage entry, applicants must submit a translation (if applicable), pay official fees, and comply with procedural requirements as per Indian patent law. Once filed, the application undergoes examination by the IPO, where patentability is assessed based on novelty, inventive step, and industrial applicability.
