The manual filing is another stage to fulfil our commitment to be more efficient and transparent. In manual form, it does not hold the infringement procedures but there is a demand from fresh inventors, foreign applicants, and patent practitioners to codify the practices in Indian Patent Office. A manual draft was published in official website, this invite suggestions and comments from stakeholders. The manual draft is revised thoroughly to make it more simple and specific. It is our passionate hope that this manual drafting will effectively meet up the demands from stakeholders. This is considered as a realistic guide for effective action of patent applications in India. However, it does not comprise rule making and therefore, it do not have the effect of law. The manual draft will be amended from time to time based on interpretations through a statutory amendments, Court of Law, and precious inputs from the stakeholders.
