Patent Filing Fees at MYCrave (2026)

Service	MYCrave Fee
Prior Art Search	Rs. 2,750
Provisional Patent Application	Rs. 3,710
Permanent (Complete) Patent Application	Rs. 7,990

These are professional fees with complete transparency and no hidden costs. Statutory government fees are payable separately to the Indian Patent Office and depend on your applicant category (individual, startup, small entity, or company) — always confirm current rates on the official IP India fee schedule before filing.

What Do You Get for These Fees?

Patent verification within 24 hours
Patent application number issued in a day
Complete handling of examinations and office actions
100% confidentiality of your concept until registration
Assured government protection for your invention

Provisional vs Complete Application: Which Should You File First?

A provisional application is the fastest, cheapest way to secure a priority date while your invention is still being refined — you then have 12 months to file the complete specification. A complete application is filed when your invention is fully developed. Most individual inventors and startups begin with a provisional filing to lock in their date at minimal cost.

The 5-Step Patent Process in India

Prior art search to confirm your invention is novel
Drafting the specification (provisional or complete)
Filing with the Indian Patent Office and receiving your application number
Publication and request for examination
Responding to examination reports until grant
