Patent filling in India

The article noted that the average patent took 33.9 months to attain, and that the United States Patent and Trademark Office has a backlog as of May 2011 of 703,000, 175.

Those statistics are quite scary, even more scary than the cost to file a concept patent, by the time you get done with the drawings, the patent search, the patent attorneys, and the filing fees - basically, you're easily looking at between 15,000 to 25,000 dollars.
