PCT出願に次ぎインドにおける国内特許出願をファイリング
FollowPCT (特許協力条約) 出願は、一般的に「国際出願」と認識され、目標であるPCT加盟国において特許出願人がファイリングする特許出願を優先日から30ヶ月あるいは31ヶ月以内に促進させるものである。
PCT出願に基づく各PCT加盟国においてファイリングされた特許出願はあまねく「国内段階出願」と呼ばれている。
タイムライン
インドでは、国内段階出願はPCT出願の優先日から31ヶ月以内にファイリングすることができるにしても、時間が延長できない。
必要な言語
インドにおける国内段階出願は英語またはヒンディ語(公式言語)で行うことができる。ヒンディ語は一つのオプションでありながら、インド人の出願人まで特許出願をファイリングする際に英語の方を選択するということで、実際的には、英語で国内段階出願をファイリングした方がいいと思われている。
英語で翻訳された優先権書類はPCT出願の優先日から31ヶ月以内にファイリングしなければならないということに注目すべきである。
審査
インド特許局(IPO) は、出願人が審査請求を行ってから国内段階出願を待ち行列に入れるため、なるべく早く審査申請を行うことが勧められている。
出願人は、優先日から48ヶ月以内に審査申請を行うことができる。48ヶ月以内に審査申請を行えない状況になったら、特許出願が失敗になる恐れがある。
一方、出願人が31ヶ月前に国内段階出願をファイリングすることに成功して審査申請を行ったとしても、IPOはその国内段階出願を31ヶ月後のみに待ち行列に入れることにする。もし、出願人がIPOに国内段階出願を31ヶ月前にしてほしいならば、料金(上表に記載されている)を支払ってエクスプレスリクエストをすることが勧められている。
出願は審査の行列を入れられた場合は、IPOが最初の審査報告書(FER)審査請求日から６ヶ月以内に送付されることになっている。しかし、IPOの仕事量によって、実際は審査報告書が送付されるまで、もっと長い時間を要する。
FERが一旦発行されたら、出願人が審査員による異議を解決する期間は12ヶ月となる。 法定費用は特許出願人の類別によって決められている。インド特許局(IPO)は出願人を３つに分けている。
1. 自然人
2. 非自然人
3. 非自然人– 非小規模団体
特許を出願する個人は自然人とされる。一方、団体は他の２つの類別に属する。
1. 非自然人– 小規模団体
2. 非自然人– 非小規模団体
例えば、会社といった法人団体はこういう類別に属する。1通の特許出願には複数の出願人が存在する場合があって、その中では第一類に属しない出願人が存在したとしても、この特許出願をファイリングする出願人は他の類別に属すると考えられている。
非自然人である出願人は下記の２つの類別に属する。
1. 非自然人– 小規模団体
2. 非自然人– 非小規模団体
特許局は自然人の出願人から最低限の料金を、非自然人–非小規模団体の出願人から最大限の料金を徴収する。また、特許局が非自然人–非小規模団体の出願人から徴収する料金は非自然人–小規模団体の出願人が支払う額の2倍である。非自然人の出願人が「小規模団体」資格を請求する場合は、こちらをご覧ください。

No. of pages in the specification

- The total number of pages includes description, claims, drawings and sequence listing if any.
- The margins requirements are 4 Cms at top, 4 Cms on left, 3 Cms at bottom and 3 Cms on right. Line spacing is 1.5.
No. of claims
- The Indian Patent office charges an additional fee for each additional claim over 10 claims.
- There is no restriction on the type of claims. The claims can be independent,dependent or multi-dependent. Only additional fee per claim is charged for each additional claim above 10 claims.
No. of priorities claimed
- The Indian Patent office charges an additional fee for each additional priority document over 1 priority.
- While calculating the number of priorities, PCT application is not considered a priority. If the PCT application itself is the priority application, then it is considered as a priority application.
Request for examination:
- The deadline to file an examination request in the Indian Patent office is 48 months from the earliest priority date.
- It is however, recommended to file the examination request along with the application, since the application is queued for examination, only upon filing the examination request.
- The fee mentioned in this calculator is for the normal examination request. It is recommended to file an express examination request, if the national phase application is filed much earlier than the 31 month deadline. By filing an express examination request, the application is put in queue immediately upon filing the application. If a normal examination request is filed, the application is put in queue for examination only after 31 months from the priority date.
Applicant type
- Any individual(s) applying for a patent is considered as a natural person. To be considered as natural persons, all the applicant(s) should be individuals.
- Applicants wishing to claim Start-up Status, need to provide proof of being a Start-up. To know more about this, you can read our article
- Applicants wishing to claim Small Entity Status, need to provide proof of being a small entity. To know more about this, you can read our article.
- Entities who do not qualify as either individuals or start-ups or small entity, will be considered as large entity
特例
仕様修正
IPOによってファイリングされる特許仕様はWIPOにおけるPCTの下でファイリングされるものと同じでなければならない。PCTの下でなされた修正案19及び34は IPOに通用するとされている。
国内段階出願をファイリング際に、出願人が修正された仕様(PCT仕様と比較)のファイリングを希望する状況がある。そういう状況では、最初からPCTの下でその仕様をファイリングしておかなければならない。そうすれば、出願人は所定の手数料を支払って、特許仕様を修正する出願に加えて、修正された仕様をファイリングすることができる。
