Design Filing in India

Fresh Indian design applications handled through a defined and continuously monitored workflow.

What to send

  • Representations or drawings of the design
  • Applicant name, address and constitution
  • The article to which the design is applied
  • Any prior disclosure or publication
  • Your client or matter reference

Before you authorise

Jidoka checks the representations and data against the filing requirements and returns the professional fee, the official fee, the requirements, anything missing and the next step. Classification and representation adequacy are confirmed by a design professional.

Once authorised

The docket opens, the matter data and representations are written to the record, forms are prepared and the package goes to professional review. After filing, the filing event is recorded, the report and invoice are issued and the formalities workflow opens.

Defined work. Defined fees.

A standard filing is not an unknowable event, and neither is much of recurring prosecution. For defined work you should know what is included, what it costs, what the official fee is, what information is required and what happens next — before the work begins. For larger portfolios and foreign associate relationships we can establish standing fee schedules and agreed workflows. One matter or one hundred: the more structured the relationship, the less each instruction has to start from zero.

Questions

What instructing teams ask.

Can foreign law firms and corporate IP teams instruct JidokaIP directly?

Yes. Send the instruction by email as you would to any associate. JidokaIP operates as an India execution layer for international IP firms, foreign patent attorneys, corporate IP departments and portfolio teams.

Is Jidoka an attorney?

No. Jidoka is an agentic operating intelligence. Professionals make the legal decisions. Jidoka makes sure the operation keeps moving.

Do we need to adopt a portal or new software?

No. Your email is the operating input. There is no portal for your team to learn, no spreadsheet to maintain and no duplicate data entry.

Will we know what defined work costs before it begins?

For defined filing work you receive the professional fee, the applicable official fee, the filing requirements, anything missing and the next step before you authorise. Standing fee schedules can be agreed for recurring work and larger portfolios.

Begin

Send one instruction and watch it become a matter.

No portal, no onboarding, no data entry. Email the instruction the way you already work, and see what the docket does with it.
