Intellectual Property laws protect the rights of a person or an organization which creates innovative works. These innovative works include technical inventions; works of art, names and symbols used for commercial purposes and are protected by different categories of intellectual property including patents, copyrights, trademarks, geographical indications, industrial designs etc.
Patents– Our lawyers facilitate the protection of an innovator’s patent rights across various technological areas including biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, electronics and communication, software and artificial intelligence, food and related industries.

Copyrights and related rights- Our lawyers provide effective advise in protecting works of art, literature, music, cinematographic works and photographs in substantial form as well as digital form by fulfilling all the steps from filing, prosecution, registration and enforcement of these applications before appropriate legal forum.
Trademarks and Geographical Indications– Trademarks, trade names and domain names are widely used by business corporations to protect their corporate names and products. Our team of lawyers are skilled to advise the clients on different concepts of brand name protection as well as assisting them in enforcement of their trademarks effectively. Geographical indications are used to protect the products which originate from a specific location and have some special quality and if they aren’t protected, they may be commercially misused and misrepresented. Our team facilitates the clients in protecting their genuine products having unique characteristics by means of geographical indications. This ensures safety and reputation of their products. Our lawyers also provide well-sought out advise to clients on issues related to securing trade secret protection for certain type of technologies.
