Patent Services in India

Send the instruction by email. Jidoka identifies the client, opens the docket, extracts the matter data, checks what is missing and prepares the filing package. Experienced Indian patent professionals make every legal decision along the way.

Prosecution

First Examination Report responses, amendments, written submissions and hearings. When an FER arrives, the event is written to the docket, the response deadline is calculated from the rule, the reporting workflow fires and a reminder sequence opens against your instructions. The drafting and the strategy stay with the patent professional; the operational sequence around them does not depend on anyone remembering it.

  • FER responses and amendments
  • Written submissions
  • Hearings and hearing preparation
  • Divisional and further applications
  • Pre-grant and post-grant oppositions
  • Working statements and periodic filings

Post-grant and portfolio work

Renewals, recordals, assignments, changes of ownership and address, licence recordals and post-grant maintenance run through the same docket as prosecution — one matter record supporting several parallel workstreams rather than several disconnected files.

  • Renewals and annuities
  • Assignment and ownership recordals
  • Change of name and address
  • Licence recordals
  • Post-grant maintenance

Portfolio transfers

An existing Indian portfolio can be moved across without waiting for a new filing. We review the existing matters, reconstruct and reconcile the docket, identify upcoming deadlines, review prosecution history, capture outstanding actions and record your client-specific instructions — then bring every matter into the same continuously monitored system used for new work. Transfer the portfolio once; stop rebuilding its history every time something happens.

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.

How are deadlines calculated?

Deterministically, from the triggering event and the statutory or internal rule that governs it. The calculation is inspectable and versioned. Rules protect the deadline. Jidoka runs the work around it.

Can we set standing instructions for our portfolio?

Yes. Reminder cadence, reporting recipients, escalation contacts, PO rules, billing entities, cost approvals, signature routes and naming conventions can all be recorded in your client playbook and applied to every matter automatically.

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.
