Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) provide a framework for creators, innovators, and explorers to protect their inventions and discoveries. Laws pertaining to trademarks and patents ensure that inventors not only gain recognition in their respective fields but also receive financial benefits for their creations.
In India, the Patents Act was enacted in 1972, with subsequent amendments made in 2016 and 2017. These amendments focused on expediting the patent granting process. The Indian government aims to establish a patent regime that fosters technological advancements and aligns with global commitments. Several measures have been implemented in India to strengthen the patent system.
If someone already possesses a Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) for another purpose, they can use the same DSC for filing a patent, eliminating the need to obtain a new digital security certificate.
DSCs for Trademark and Patent Registrations are issued in the name of organizations. As a result, individuals can obtain their Class 3 Paperless DSC using their Aadhaar or PAN card, without the need for physical presence or submission of physical documents.
The Indian Patent Office accepts online patent applications, making it mandatory for agents, organizations, or individuals to use their Class 3 DSC when applying to the Intellectual Property Office (IPO). After the registration process is completed, users need to add their digital signatures for e-filing patent applications.

When filing a trademark application online, a Class 3 DSC is required. Using paperless DSCs during the e-filing of trademark applications reduces the risk of information theft or tampering.
