You only need to pay official fees to the Government Patent Office. Fees for patent agents \/ attorneys are paid by Government not by you (the start-up)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, what that means is you would require to pay <strong>only official fees<\/strong> for patent process that is ( filing patent application 1600 + request for expedited examination 8000) Hence when we compare it with normal route or ordinary patent application process which requires ( \u20b935,000 to \u20b952,000 ) as attorney fees for patent process, You would end up saving quite significant money in this case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>apart from cost benefits, it also has time benefit as discussed in detailed in previous section. If you are recognized as startup under DIPP, you can make the request for expedited examination using Form 18A which saves a lot of time in patent process when we compare it to normal
