Patent Registration in Seychelles
Seychelles patent prosecution with the Registrar General under the Industrial Property Act 2014, which also provides for utility certificates and industrial designs; the Registrar maintains a separate patent register. Seychelles is a contracting state of the Patent Cooperation Treaty, so an international application can enter the Seychelles national phase. A 20-year term is the standard understanding under the Act.

Drafting
Specification and claims drafted, or the PCT international application prepared for Seychelles national-phase entry.
Application Filed
Filed with the Registrar General under the Industrial Property Act 2014 and entered in the patent register. Official fees are confirmed with the Registrar General at filing — no schedule is published here.
Examination
Examination handled under the Industrial Property Act 2014. The Registrar General publishes no timeline that could be confirmed; the window shown is a conservative Comriq delivery estimate for our work, not a statutory SLA.
Grant
Grant entered in the patent register. A 20-year term is the standard understanding under the Act and is confirmed against the Act at quote; utility certificates and industrial designs are alternatives under the same Act.
Indicative guidance — confirmed before payment
Requirements and statutory fees are set by Registrar General — Intellectual Property Office, Registration Division, Department of Legal Affairs and change without notice. This page is general information, not legal or tax advice. Your engagement letter and quote are the binding documents.
