Navigate Ayurvedic IP & Regulations with Confidence.
Ask questions, explore authoritative sources, understand applicable regulations, discover prior art, and receive source-cited statutory guidance — all in one place.
Patentability Assessment (India Jurisdiction):
Patentability requires novelty, inventive step, industrial applicability, and navigating statutory bars:
- Section 3(p): Directly bars traditional knowledge or aggregation of known Ayurvedic properties.
- Section 3(e): Mere admixtures without synergistic enhancement are unpatentable.
- Section 10(4)(d): Mandatory disclosure of biological material source to NBA.
What can Sahayak help you with?
Comprehensive tools tailored for Ayurvedic researchers, innovators, manufacturers, and legal professionals.
1. Ask an IP Question
Receive evidence-backed guidance on patents, trademarks, geographical indications (GI), copyright, and design rights with built-in voice support.
2. Classify Your Product
Determine whether your product falls under classical medicine, proprietary drug, phytopharmaceutical, food, or cosmetic regulatory regimes.
3. Discover Prior Art
Search classical Ayurvedic formulations, samhitas, and TKDL database records to evaluate novelty and prior statutory disclosure.
4. Check ABS Considerations
Analyze Access & Benefit Sharing (ABS) obligations under the Biological Diversity Act 2002 and recent statutory 2023 amendments.
5. Explore Regulations
Access AYUSH Schedule T guidelines, Drugs & Cosmetics Rules, FSSAI Ayurveda Aahara standards, and CDSCO gazettes with live timeline tracking.
6. Verify Sources
Verify every citation directly against indexed official gazettes, statutory texts, India Code, and international WIPO Lex treaties.
From Question to Evidence
A transparent 6-stage RAG pipeline ensuring verifiable, un-hallucinated guidance.
Question
User submits query in English, Hindi, or Odia. Normalizes prompt while locking statutory proper nouns (Section 3(d), TRIPS, TKDL, Rule 158B).
Context
Identify domain (Patent, Trademarks, AYUSH, ABS, GI) and dispatch to competent regulators (IP India, FSSAI, CDSCO, NBA), preventing jurisdiction cross-pollution.
Evidence
Hybrid BM25 + Vector search over statutory texts. Combines dense BAAI/bge-m3 embeddings with exact statutory provision boosts (e.g. Section 3(p)).
Audit
Check jurisdiction, version, and source freshness. Cross-checks gazettes against amendment timelines, filtering out superseded older notifications.
Guidance
Generate source-cited answer with claim trace map. Every single legal statement is verified and anchored strictly to an audited [Source N] citation.
Abstain
Abstain if evidence is low; trigger expert review. Computes evidence confidence (0-1). If grounding is insufficient, safely refuses hallucination.
Dual Verification Outcomes
IP-SAKTI Sahayak strictly differentiates between confident statutory certainty and missing evidence.
