I led with your PhD + domain fit first, then your patents and publications (your strongest proof points), then addressed the experience gap honestly by framing it as "transitioning into" and "actively building toward" rather than claiming experience you don't have — this keeps you credible if asked to elaborate in an interview.

I mentioned Indian Patent Agent registration specifically, since this role is patent prosecution-focused and showing you already know the career ladder (patent technologist → patent agent) signals seriousness and reduces the recruiter's worry that you're unsure about the field.
