The Haryana state administration has announced a scheme that will reimburse innovators for patent filing costs up to Rs 50,000 per application.
The Haryana government unveiled a new financial assistance programme aimed at reducing the cost burden on inventors and small enterprises seeking patent protection. Under the scheme, eligible applicants can receive reimbursement of up to Rs 50,000 for each patent filing, helping to offset legal and procedural fees.
The initiative is part of the state’s broader effort to promote research, development and entrepreneurship within Haryana. Officials indicated that the funding will be disbursed through existing innovation support channels, though specific application procedures were not detailed in the announcement.
By subsidising patent costs, the government hopes to encourage more local innovators to protect their intellectual property, potentially boosting the state’s technology and manufacturing sectors.
The scheme will be administered by the state’s Department of Industries and Commerce, which will issue guidelines on eligibility criteria and the reimbursement process in the coming weeks.
Stakeholders are expected to respond positively, as high patent filing fees have traditionally been a barrier for many small‑scale inventors in the region.
