IP and Patent desk

Protect your idea before you publish

Publishing first can make an invention unpatentable. Tell us about your idea in confidence: you get a free novelty note from the Vordict research corpus at once, and our IP team contacts you within 3 working days.

How it works

Describe the idea - the problem, what is new, how it works. Only our IP team sees it.
Free novelty note - we compare your idea with the Vordict research corpus and show the closest published work.
Consultation - an IP professional reviews patentability, the right protection (patent, design, copyright, trademark) and the filing route in India.
Publish safely - we tell you when it is safe to submit your paper.

Before you submit a paper

If your paper describes an invention, ask us first. In India a patent application should be filed before the work is made public.
