Yes, you must accept the terms and conditions to be eligible to submit your innovation/s and / or for the access of this website / portal. These are created to outline the parties’, obligations and liabilities and must be read, acknowledged and accepted unconditionally.

Ideally, your solution should be protected by way of filing for grant of a patent, or filing for registration of an industrial design / trademarks. It would be necessary that any pending patent application should be published by the Indian Patent Office or otherwise. Similarly, a registration of an industrial design or a TM must be accepted and published / advertised by the Patent Office or TM Registry, as the case maybe. However, we can discuss early-stage innovations before an IP filing is made, or before it is published. In this case, you should not disclose any information that will jeopardise your rights to file application for grant / registration of any IP, and if you have any concerns about that, we advise you to contact an Intellectual Property lawyer prior to submission.
