To get your subject patented you need to approach a patent agent. Not all advocates are patent agent so you need to find out them. Now come to the second part, in order to get your company registered you need to decide as to who all will be director and where will be your company's permanent address. Thereafter get your company registered with MCA and follow the procedure required under the same with the help of advocate.

You need to engage a lawyer/patent attorney to draft & file your patent application. You can either file a provisional application (for part disclosure or unfinished work) and thereafter file complete specification or you may choose to file complete specifications directly. please note that priority date or filing date is crucial to safeguard your work and any similar application if filed could cause hurdle for your application. We have seen clients who lost their work over a day's difference in filing applications. Registering as a startup is not so complicated. You can register as Pvt. Ltd. or LLP or partnership and thereafter can submit your documents under Startup India scheme to DIPP. The only effort may be getting a recommendation letter.

In order to file a patent, you need to get in touch with a registered Patent Agent who can help you with your registration. In order to be registered as a Startup, the startup entity needs to be registered under the Companies Act, or Partnership Act or The Limited Liability Partnership Act. Once the registration is complete, I would suggest you apply with the Startup India Initiative of the Government of India wherein you can avail certain benefits like rebates on Patent and Trademark Applications, Tax Exemptions, Funding, etc..
