How to Patent my product that I am exporting common faqs

1.    How to Analyze that the particular robot or designed is patent or not?
Ans: you can search patents.google.com or you can hire a patent engineer for infringement search, the main thing that you have to identify is novel invention if that is matching with an existing company then you will not get your patent.
2.    Is actual real robot is required for patent or we can get patent once we have our design and process image ready. 
Ans: Patent is received on functionality which is solving a problem, lets take an example of USB (at first people took a patent for optical mouse) thereafter a smart person used peripheral device by using that work he used usb keyboard,printer and many more. So if your robot is solving a problem and has a utility functionality you will get patent
3.    What are the requirements for robot patent?
Ans: Requirement is same for all kind of patent(utility patent):
you have to take a filling date then within 18 months you have to submit your draft of your patent.
4.    What is the cost and time duration of robot patent?
Ans: usually within 2 years of time your patent can be granted if no objection comes from patent attorney. And filling date can be obtained the day you file your patent
5.    What is the difference between Patent and Intellectual Property rights IPR?
Ans: Trade secrets and processes are also protected under IPR, as are patents. A patent, however, is a document or legal certificate given for protecting a design, utility or innovation, which comes under the broad umbrella of IPRs. 
6.    If I start my LLP then can I get the benefit under startup India for 50% wave off fees. What would be the final cost for patent for it?
Ans: Patent will cost you around 10-20k (Government Fees) and a patent attorney who will create your draft (20-30k) and if you can create your draft it will cost you around (10-20k) but I will advise you to go with a patent attorney or a patent farm to fasten your process and they will also help you during rejection ( approximate cost will be 50k) if no rejection is there if there will be rejection then examination cost will be there.

9.    Is trademark is only of logo or we can get trademark of specific name, because I see several co is having similar name but trademark logo is different
Ans: logo name both, Example Nike (they have that right sign trademark and as well Name Nike both trademark)
10.    How trademark is different from copyright? because in some packets I see trademark mark TM and in some brand name I find C – copyright mark in logo.
Copyright is generally for songs, images, books  
Trademark is for logo ( tm means temporary and r means registered) you will have to go for logo
11.    Is patent filling of electrical part or components of robot same ?
You get patent over an invention like this component has this functionality so the functionality get the patent.
12.    Kindly guide me in details that I can I execute my process of robot making, so that I can get conformation that I would be getting the patent for sure before starting, so that my time and energy do not gets wasted. 
Ans: just make sure your invention is novel and if its copy of something it will be better you take rights from the owner because if its copy of something your invention will be rejected (infringement search is the very first step which will help you in identifying whether you can get a patent or not) cost 10-15k
13.    Can we do all process on our own or we need attorney or some special support, kindly guide us the best way for me.
Ans: always go with an attorney it will save your invention, time and during rejection or examination attorney will be helpful in office action reports
14.    Kindly guide us based on your idea about me. 
Get trademark for sure :
cost: 10-15k
then go for infringement search you will come to know whether you can get patent or not ( 10-15k)
then drafting and filling ( 20-30k) including government fees

Rest its like a case if you win you get your patent within 18 months to 2 years or else it may take time.
