Certified copy of provisional

Dear all,

Can we get a certified copy of a Indian provisional application for filing a Conventional  application claiming the priority of provisional. 

As the provisional does not contain claims, do we have to submit certified copy of complete specification or provisional specification for filing?

Yes Navya! you can definitely apply for and get a certified copy of the provisional application. Infact a large number of conventional applications are filed claiming the priority of the provisional applications. Not only that, you may obtain a certified copy of any document submitted on an application, for example proof of right documents, on payment of fees at the Patent Office. Please note that you would also require a power of attorney in your favour to obtain certified documents from the Patent Office.
