In an official function held on December 15, 2012, the Indian
Patent office launches the facility of Comprehensive online filing. This newly
launched facility by the Indian Patent office is a bold step towards a
paperless virtual office in the future.
Though the Indian Patent office has first launched the
e-filing services in the year 2007, such facility was limited only to filing of
patent applications. However, the newly developed online facility has been
integrated to file patent applications and other subsequent requests along with
the prescribed fees through the electronic gateway. The service is aimed at
simplifying the e-filing process and to eliminate transaction errors.
The launched on-line filing facility is a web based
system which allows a dual way login through User Id or Digital signature. Now
a user can comfortably own and manage personal folders in the Patent office environment.
For this, the user simply needs a Digital signature and an internet banking
account for e-filing.
