Confidentiality undertaking
Version 2026-08-07.2 · ISERDIndia Analytics, registered Patent & Trade Marks Agents
1. What this covers
Everything you send through this form (the drawings and photographs of
your article, the description, and the fact that you are considering
registering it) is treated by ISERDIndia Analytics as your confidential
information.
2. What we undertake
We will use what you send only to assess your design and to advise you on
protecting it. We will not disclose it to anyone outside ISERDIndia, and
we will not use it for our own purposes or for any other client.
3. Who sees it
Your brief is accessible to ISERDIndia's registered agents and the
professionals working on your enquiry, each of whom is bound by the same
duty of confidence and by the professional obligations that apply to
registered agents. ISERDIndia works with two partner firms , Doon Intellectual Property Solutions
and Patentomatic Law Consultancy, whose registered agents may also work
on your matter, and both of which send their own clients to this same
form. Each of them is bound by this undertaking. Nobody
outside these three firms sees it.
4. How long it lasts
This undertaking continues whether or not you go on to engage us, and it
does not end when your enquiry does.
5. What it does not cover
It does not apply to information that is already public, that we already
held before you sent it, that reaches us lawfully from someone else, or
that we are required to disclose by law or by a court or authority.
6. No agent-client relationship yet
Sending this form does not by itself engage us, and nothing in our reply
is legal advice until we are formally engaged and an engagement letter is
in place. We are happy to sign your own NDA instead if you prefer.
Write to info@iserdindia.org .
7. Your data
Your details are stored securely on ISERDIndia's systems and are never
sold or shared for marketing. Under the DPDP Act, 2023 you may withdraw
this consent or ask us to correct or erase your data at any time by
writing to info@iserdindia.org .
8. One thing we ask of you
Do not publish, display or sell the article before we have spoken. In
India a design that has already been published cannot be registered, and
that is not something an agent can undo afterwards.
Type your full name to accept *
I have read the undertaking above and accept it. I understand it takes
effect when I send this form.
Accept and continue
The article
Novelty statement *
This sentence goes on the representation sheet. It fills in from the
article name as you type. Change it if the novelty lies somewhere
other than the shape, for example in the surface pattern or ornament.
The usual forms: shape and configuration · shape, configuration and
surface pattern · surface pattern and ornamentation .
Short technical write-up *
One paragraph is enough. What problem the article addresses and how its
shape answers it: the look, not the mechanism.
The views
Perspective, front and back, both sides, top and bottom. This is the set
that goes on the representation sheet. Photographs are fine: plain
background, same article, same scale, nothing else in frame, and the
article in the same orientation throughout.
Other views optional
These appear on representation sheets when the article calls for them.
Send only the ones that show something the five above do not. An extra
view that repeats what is already there adds nothing.
Anything else
Notes (optional)
