On June 26, 2025, the Office of Controller General of Patents, Designs, and Trademarks (CGPDTM) published the Draft Guidelines for Examination of Computer-Related Inventions (CRI), 2025, Version 2.0 (Revised Draft CRI Guidelines) for public consultation. The last date for submitting comments to the CGPDTM is July 7, 2025.

CGPDTM has also published the Annexure to the Revised Draft CRI Guidelines, which contains a non-exhaustive indicative list of additional examples to illustrate allowable/non-allowable claimed inventions for public comments.

The first version of Draft CRI Guidelines was issued on March 25, 2025. In our feedback on the first version, we primarily highlighted the need for providing greater clarity on disclosure requirements for AI-related inventions and reasoning behind patentability/non-patentability of claims in the cited examples.

Should this subject be of interest to you, please write to us at dhananjay@nasscom.in or sudipto@nasscom.in. We are also happy to get on a call to discuss your feedback. Given the short deadline for submitting comments, please write to us by July 04, 2025 (Friday).
