Information Madness

Shri Kamal Nath expressed hope that eventually the complete process of grant of patent or registration of trademarks will be on-line and the Indian Patent and Trade Mark Offices will function almost as paperless offices.

This will be achieved in a time span of about two years. The modules for the e-filing and on-line processing have been developed by the National Informatics Centre. The payment gateway is currently provided by the State Bank of India. (via: Press Release)

Though this news was on major news portals, none of them actually gave the actual location/URL for this new application. So I spent around 15-20 minutes googling around and finally, found out the exact location/URL for this application. This application is under Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion, Ministry of Commerce and Industry. The way government websites are created/maintained its just a nightmare to find out what you are looking for.

If you google "Ministry of Commerce and Industry, you get totally different website and there was no comment/note about this new e-filing application. So finally after searching, I found out the actual website which is http://ipindia.nic.in/. This is where you get links for e-filing of patent applications and e-filing for trade marks application. Below are the links if you need direct access.
