Deadlines, not just status
A status page tells you where the application is. Ragulika tells you what that means, what has to be done, by when, and what happens if it is not.

Ragulika IP Patent Assistant tracks your Indian patent application, monitors important prosecution events, calculates the deadlines that follow and tells you what you should do next.

What IP India tells you
Application Status
First Examination Report Issued
A status. Accurate, and on its own not much use — it does not tell you what now has to happen, or by when.

How it works
Two details to begin. Ragulika turns them into a dated, reasoned timeline, step by step.
- Enter Application number and filing date
- Verify You complete IP India verification
- Normalise Status becomes dated events
- Apply rules Events matched to the Act and Rules
- Calculate Deadlines, with the legal basis
- Assess risk What matters, and how much
- Remind Escalating, well before the date
- Act What to do, step by step
Deadlines you can trust — and check
Every date is explained, sourced, and flagged when the picture is incomplete.
Every date shows its basis
Each deadline names the provision it comes from, the event that started it, and whether that event is officially verified or something you told us.
Reminders that escalate
At least three warnings before every critical deadline, adapted automatically when the period is short — and silence once the obligation is discharged.
Nothing invented
Where a date cannot be worked out from what is known, Ragulika asks you rather than guessing — and says plainly which parts of the timeline are still incomplete.
Compliant with IP India
The official portal uses a CAPTCHA. Ragulika never attempts to bypass it. You complete the verification; Ragulika does the rest.
No false assurance
Ragulika never tells you a patent is safe. It tells you what it can see, what it cannot, and where its picture is incomplete.
Frequently asked questions
How Ragulika works, where its information comes from, and what it does not do.
What is the Ragulika IP Patent Assistant?
The Ragulika IP Patent Assistant is a specialized docketing and reminder tool designed for Indian patent applications. It helps track prosecution events from the Indian Patent Office (IP India), calculate downstream legal deadlines based on the Patents Act and Rules, and send reminders to help users manage critical compliance dates, including First Examination Report (FER) responses.
How does Ragulika track my Indian patent application without bypassing IP India's CAPTCHA?
Ragulika is designed to work without bypassing the Indian Patent Office portal's CAPTCHA or other security protocols. Users complete the required official verification step on IP India. Ragulika then uses the application number and filing date, together with available application information, to organise status changes, map relevant statutory timelines, and generate reminders.
What legal basis does Ragulika use to calculate patent deadlines?
Ragulika maps applicable patent deadlines to relevant statutory provisions, including the Patents Act, 1970, and the Patents Rules, 2003. Depending on the event and applicable rules, these may include timelines relating to requests for examination under Rule 24B, FER responses, and potential abandonment under Section 21. Each deadline identifies its relevant legal basis, triggering event, and risk level wherever supported by the platform.
Is the Ragulika IP Patent Assistant a substitute for professional legal advice?
No. The Ragulika IP Patent Assistant is a docketing and reminder aid, not a substitute for professional legal advice. Deadline calculations depend on the accuracy and completeness of the available information and the applicable legal requirements. Users should independently verify critical deadlines against official IP India records and consult a qualified patent professional when necessary.
How do I start tracking my patent application on Ragulika?
Getting started is simple:
- Enter: Provide your Indian patent application number and original filing date.
- Verify: Complete the required official IP India verification step.
- Monitor: Review your application timeline, identify upcoming deadlines, and use available reminders to help manage important compliance dates.
Never Miss a Deadline—Track Your First Patent Now
Start with one application number and its filing date. Ragulika works out the rest and asks you only for what it genuinely cannot determine.
Please read. Ragulika IP Patent Assistant is a docketing and reminder tool.
The deadlines it calculates depend entirely on the accuracy and completeness of the information
available to it. It does not monitor IP India continuously, it is not a substitute for
professional advice, and it does not create a lawyer–client relationship. Where a period or its
interpretation is unsettled, Ragulika flags it and recommends professional verification.
