A: Before you think of patenting your invention india, you should check whether, under your employment agreement, you are required to assign the patent to the institution you work for? Also, according to US patent laws, if the invention is invented in the US, you may file patent outside US unless you have filed patent in US and passes a waiting period, or you received a special petition granted from USPTO. Violation of this will invalidate or bar your patent in US. If everything is cleared, you should call attorneys in India to assist you file an India patent. US attorney cannot assist you to file.
