Convention Patent Filing in India

Indian convention filings handled through the same structured process as every other matter: instruction, docket, deadline rules, professional review, filing, reporting and onward prosecution.

Send the priority details

Send the priority reference, your India instruction and the material available to you. Jidoka checks the matter against the convention filing requirements, returns the fees and identifies anything outstanding before you authorise.

The twelve-month date is a rule, not a reminder

The convention deadline is calculated from the priority date and the governing rule, and every internal preparation date is derived from it. Rules protect the deadline. Jidoka runs the work around it — opening the preparation window, chasing the missing document and escalating when an approval is late.

Professional review before filing

Forms are prepared, the filing information is structured, supporting documents are checked and any unusual requirement is surfaced. The matter then goes to an experienced patent professional who reviews the substantive and procedural work and approves what happens next.

After filing

The filing event is recorded, the next action is identified, the report and invoice are prepared and the prosecution workflow opens against your playbook.

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.

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.
