▶What is the difference between patents and trademarks?
Patents protect inventions and how they work; trademarks protect brand identifiers like names and logos.
▶Do I need to register copyright?
Copyright exists automatically upon creation, but registration helps assert rights and is useful in enforcement.
▶How long does a patent application take?
Typical timelines range from 18–36+ months depending on the field, office workload, and how quickly objections are addressed.
▶Is a trademark search necessary before filing?
Yes. A comprehensive search reduces the risk of objections and rejections, saving time and cost during prosecution.
▶Can startups/MSMEs get reduced government fees?
Many IP categories in India offer reduced official fees for recognized startups and MSMEs. Documentation is required.
▶Do designs protect functionality?
No. Design registration protects the aesthetic appearance of products. Functional aspects are protected via patents.
▶What is a DMCA takedown?
A DMCA takedown is a formal notice to remove infringing content hosted online. It's frequently used to enforce copyright.
