Role you're checking

Patent Agent

Operations

Patent Agents in India are registered practitioners under Section 126 of the Patents Act 1970 who file, prosecute, and maintain patent applications at the Indian Patent Office (IPO) — without the added requirement of holding an LL.B. The role demands a science or engineering degree, passage of the Patent Agent Examination conducted by CGPDTM (Controller General of Patents, Designs and Trade Marks), and deep technical fluency in the field of invention. Day-to-day work spans drafting claims and specifications, responding to First Examination Reports (FERs), filing PCT national-phase applications, conducting prior-art searches on Espacenet and IP India, advising inventors on patentability and Section 3 exclusions, and managing docket deadlines across multi-jurisdictional prosecution. Primary employers include IP boutiques (Anand & Anand, K&S Partners, Lall & Sethi, S.S. Rana & Co), pharma in-house IP teams (Sun Pharma, Cipla, Dr. Reddy's, Biocon), tech and semiconductor companies, and standalone patent filing and prosecution firms in Delhi NCR, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, and Mumbai.
