<h1>Intellectual property filings surge after policy reforms and digitization, with fee concessions and expedited procedures boosting applications.</h1> Aggregate intellectual property filings in India have increased substantially due to legislative and administrative reforms and digitization that streamline processing, fix timelines, mandate electronic submissions, and simplify documentary and compliance requirements. Key operational changes include reduced timelines for examination requests, consolidated trademark and other application forms, a prima facie threshold for pre grant oppositions, introduction of Certificate of Inventorship, and significant fee concessions and expedited examination for startups, MSMEs, educational institutions and other specified applicants. IP office modernization-e filing, AI/ML trademark search, an IP dashboard, remote hearings, and expanded manpower-supports faster processing and broader accessibility.
