Intellectual Property
Trademark and copyright registration, IP due diligence, and enforcement against infringement — for businesses, creators, and individuals.
What this covers
This practice covers trademark search, filing, and prosecution before the Trademark Registry; copyright registration and advisory for creative and business work; IP due diligence ahead of an investment, acquisition, or licensing deal; and enforcement action — cease-and-desist, opposition proceedings, and infringement suits — where a mark, work, or design is being used without authorisation.
It also covers advising on IP assignment and licensing terms, so that ownership of a mark, work, or invention is clearly documented rather than assumed.

Frequently asked
How long does trademark registration usually take?
A straightforward, unopposed application can take a year or more to reach registration in India; contested applications take longer.
Do you handle IP disputes, not just registration?
Yes — infringement and opposition matters that reach the High Court are handled directly. See High Court Litigation.
Can you check IP ownership before an investment or acquisition?
Yes — IP due diligence is often run alongside general due diligence ahead of a deal. See Due Diligence.
