Intellectual Property Rights
We assist businesses in protecting, managing and enforcing their intellectual property and brand assets.
A business's name, logo, content and product designs are often among its most valuable assets, and in India most of that protection depends on registration and on acting in time. The practice advises on the full life of a trademark, copyright or design: checking that a name is available, filing applications, replying to examination objections, handling oppositions and rectification, renewing registrations and acting against misuse.
It also helps businesses put their intellectual property to work through licences, assignments, technology transfer and co-branding arrangements, and advises on a brand protection strategy that fits how and where the business trades.
Applicable law
- Trade Marks Act, 1999
