Guided answer
I have an invention. Where do I start?
Four questions that decide what you should do this month.
Has anything about the invention been made public yet?
India has no general grace period, so this is always the first question.
This is educational guidance, not personalised legal advice. It cannot see your documents, your dates or the prior art, and those are usually what decide the answer. Use it to understand the question, then take advice on your own facts.
Not sure whether this applies to your invention?
The honest answer usually needs someone to look at your actual disclosure, your timeline and the prior art. That is a conversation, not an article.
