  6. Power of Attorney: A Power of Attorney (Form-26) if filed through a patent agent or attorney.
  7. Proof of Right to Make an Application (if applicable): If the applicant is not the inventor, documents proving the right to apply for a patent (e.g., assignment deeds, employer-employee agreements) may be required.
  8. Fee Payment: The prescribed fees for filing the patent application and any associated forms.
  9. Form-5 (Statement and Undertaking): A statement and undertaking regarding the inventorship and right to apply for the patent.
