Intellectual Property Laws

The practice of Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) touches upon the subjects of Science & Technology as much as it is application of the legal theory of Law. We possess rich knowledge of the law and practice of intellectual property. We have a good command over the subject of science and work closely with engineers and other technicians whenever we deal with complex matters of Patent & Designs Law. We understand not only the practice and the technicalities of the invention or design we deal with, but also research the science of law that will apply to it.

We deal with litigation pertaining to the Designs Act. We conduct litigation under the Designs Act, 2000, Design Rules 2001 (As amended). We understand that companies work hard to ensure that their products are designed in a unique manner which deserves the protection of law to ensure their investment in research is finally rewarded by the market. Accordingly, we ensure that we take all steps to ensure that our client's interests get the deserved priority and are safeguarded in all matters. We deal with matters pertaining to registration of designs (including Locarno Classification), rights conferred for registered designs, issues pertaining to S. 15 of Copyrights Act 1957, infringement of registered designs, etc. 

We deal in Trademark Litigation under the Trade Marks Act, 1999 and under numerous Common Law remedies. We represent clients in matters concerning infringement and passing off claims regarding Trademarks and brand names. We understand the importance of brand image and brand value in the competitive century of ours. We appreciate the labour and money that go behind building brand images and protecting brand reputations. Accordingly, we ensure that we take all steps to ensure that our client's interests get the deserved priority and are safeguarded. We also understand the importance of interim relief (Including Anton Piller and Mareva injunctions, John Doe orders) from Courts in Trademark litigation and always strategise before pleadings are filed in Courts of Law. We also deal with the Trademark and Merchandise Marks Act 1958.

We deal with litigation pertaining to Geographical Indications (GI) and Traditional Knowledge. We deal with Geographical Indications of Goods (Registration & Protection) Act 1999 and numerous international treaties, Conventions and agreements that govern the subject. GIs and Traditional Knowledge are extremely relevant to India since India has always been a storehouse of traditional knowledge which has been passed on from generations and is now endangered. We deal with claims in respect of Biopiracy, misappropriation of traditional knowledge, Access & Benefit Sharing in the international regime, disputes relating to disclosure of origin, etc.     

We understand the finer nuances of Patent Law and how Patent claims are drafted and interpreted. Be it prior art (information already in the public domain) or a novel invention, we understand the law and how it is applied. We understand that companies work hard to ensure that their inventions deserve the protection of law to ensure that investment in research is finally rewarded by the market. Accordingly, we ensure that we take all steps to ensure that our client's interests get the deserved priority and are safeguarded in all matters. We deal with matters pertaining to revocation of patents, compulsory licensing, infringement of patents and objections against Controller's decision on registration of patents. We understand the importance of interim relief (Including ex-parte injunctions) from Courts in Patent litigation and always strategise before pleadings are filed in Courts of Law.
