Through this post, we attempt to show you how to exactly do this. The Indian Patent Office introduced the Indian patent search database called <a href=\"http:\/\/ipindiaservices.gov.in\/publicsearch\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">inPASS<\/a> or <a href=\"http:\/\/ipindiaservices.gov.in\/publicsearch\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Indian\u00a0Patent Advanced\u00a0Search\u00a0System<\/strong><\/a> for the first time in 2015. inPASS replaced the then official database of the patent office called iPAIRS (Indian Patent Information Retrieval System) to provide a more simple, robust, and user-friendly database.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">So how does one check the status of patent applications filed in India online? The answer is rather simple.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Step 1: <\/strong>Access the patent search system\/database on <a href=\"http:\/\/ipindiaservices.gov.in\/publicsearch\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/ipindiaservices.gov.in\/publicsearch\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Step 2: <\/strong>If you know the patent application number, simply enter the application number in the field titled \u201cApplication Number\u201d. Clicking on the search button at the end of the page will take you to a page displaying the application number, title, application date and status.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bananaip.com\/intellepedia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/image-1-1.png\" alt=\"This image shows the page on which you are required to enter the application number.\" width=\"1257\" height=\"1085\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Step 3: <\/strong>\u00a0Click on the \u2018application number\u2019 hyperlink. This will open up a new page\/window giving you access to complete details of the application including the applicant details, inventor details, specification, etc.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bananaip.com\/intellepedia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Image-2-1.png\" alt=\"This image is the screenshot of the page that appears once an application number has been entered and searched\" width=\"807\" height=\"694\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Step 4: <\/strong>Now scroll down to the bottom of the page and click on the \u2018View Application Status\u2019 button. This will open a new page \/ window where you will be able to view the details of the application along with the current application status.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bananaip.com\/intellepedia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Image-3-1.png\" alt=\"This image is a screenshot of the page that shows the details of the applications specification\" width=\"829\" height=\"407\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bananaip.com\/intellepedia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Image-4-1.jpg\" alt=\"This image shows the details of the application, when the application uses the application status tab to search for the status of patent application online.\" width=\"639\" height=\"615\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The steps mentioned above are rather long and avoidable if all that you want to do is to check the status of your patent application. In such a case, all you need to do is select the \u201dApplication Status\u201d tab provided at the top of the search page and placed it along with the tabs \u201cPatent search\u201d and \u201cPatent E-register\u201d.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Once you click on the &#8220;Application Status&#8221; box, all you need to do is enter the application number and captcha code in their respective fields and click on \u201cShow Status\u201d. Doing this will open a new page\/window where you will be able to view the details of the application along with the current application status.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bananaip.com\/intellepedia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Image-5-2.jpg\" alt=\"Application status page\" width=\"817\" height=\"445\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The \u201cPatent E-register\u201d tab is especially useful if you are searching for a granted patent application. Enter the patent number and the captcha code in their respective fields and click on \u201cShow E-Register\u201d. This will retrieve the grant and renewal fee details of the patent. Using this, you will be able to check whether the patent is currently in force, under extension or has lapsed. In case of a patent is in force, you will also be able to see the upcoming renewal due date and validity period of the patent.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bananaip.com\/intellepedia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Image-6.jpg\" alt=\"Patent E-register page\" width=\"824\" height=\"382\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bananaip.com\/intellepedia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Image-7.png\" alt=\"Extract of the Patent E-register\" width=\"602\" height=\"744\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Checking the status of your patent applications online on a regular basis is a good practice. By doing this the applicants can check and monitor the status of their patent applications regularly and notify the patent office or their patent agents in case any discrepancies are observed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Having filed over 3800 patent applications, BananaIP\u2019s technology experts and attorneys bring both expertise and the experience of working with Fortune 500 companies, Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), international governmental agencies, educational\/research institutions, and start-ups.
