Patent Filing under the Paris Convention in India

Coordination for convention patent applications in India claiming priority from an earlier foreign filing.

A practical, informed approach

A Paris Convention filing in India requires the earlier application, priority details and Indian filing documents to be coordinated within the applicable time limit. Peritus IP helps review the filing history, assemble the application record and plan the next steps with the applicant and patent team.

Section 135 of the Patents Act provides a 12-month period for a qualifying convention application. The priority basis and deadline need to be checked for the specific filing. See Section 135 of the Patents Act.
