Protecting what’s innovative and valuable to leverage their value

Ingenuity knows no borders, and neither do unfair competitors who take advantage of your IP. Your inventions, innovations, brands, copyrights, and trade secrets are as valuable as your factories, inventories, and infrastructure. In the constantly disruptive business landscape, it is very important to fully comprehend, monitor, defend, and monetize the value of IP assets, no matter where they are located or threatened.

IP - Protection

IP Protection is pivotal in fostering innovation and creativity. Granting inventors and creators exclusive rights to their inventions and creations encourages the development of new technologies, artistic expressions, and brands, providing a legal framework to secure and monetize intellectual assets and ensuring creators profit from their innovations.

Furthermore, IP protection defends against unauthorized use or exploitation, maintaining the integrity of the creator’s work and investment. Robust IP protection in a global economy is essential for competitive advantage, driving economic growth, and supporting the advancement of knowledge and culture.

IP Protection – Practice Areas

Patents and Design

Our Patents and Design Services focus specifically on the commercial value of your creation/invention. We provide a comprehensive level of protection against product /service duplication and ensure that the unique proposition of the same cannot be imitated, duplicated, or cloned.

Utility Model

Let our services protect your technical innovation and prevent its exploitation. Utility models have a validity period different from that of inventions and need only two criteria for patentability: novelty and industrial applicability. This protection is not available in all countries.

Copyrights

Applicable to literary, music, cinematography, films, and artistic creations, we offer services to prevent unauthorized copying/ adaptation/ amplification of the original creation.

Geographical Indicator

Our GI services ensure that a specific indicator can only be used on products originating from a given geographical region, clearly signaling reliable information for customers about the product's nature and quality.

Trademark/Service Mark/Brand and Company Names/Product Name/Logo/Slogan Services Registrations

Distinguish your offering from that of competitors, and ensure that the image and reputation gained are solely associated with the original. Our legal counsel protects your distinctive identity from any infringement attempts.

IP – Development

Valuation

An IP derives its value from a wide range of parameters—usefulness, market share, legal protection, barriers to entry, growth forecasts, new and emerging technologies, and industrial, economic, and climate factors, to name a few. Our valuation services determine its market value based on these parameters and its contribution to the business value as a whole.

Due Diligence

Our IP due diligence effort maps out the commercial, financial, technical, and legal aspects of IP rights to understand their strength, value, and scope and facilitates decision-making, negotiations, and agreements that impact their commercial value.

Commercial Reporting

We provide comprehensive documents that deliver intelligent insights derived from an IP asset and its strategic implications.

IP Searches

Our services work effectively to improve the commercial outcomes of the IP asset by identifying USPs, potential competitors early on in the process, and possibilities and limitations in patenting to make a compelling pitch for approval.

IP Training

We offer training programs to provide a practical understanding of IP and its laws, as well as practical skills to improve patent application, preparation and prosecution, post-issuance topics, patent litigation, claim construction, and scope of claims.

IP – Litigation

Infringement

The value of your IP, market share, and competition are the priorities that drive our IP Litigation Services – a powerful tool to protect, enforce, leverage, and defend IP assets. These services include pre-litigation infringement, validity investigations, services that defend enforceability of confidentiality and non-competition agreements, defending IP that has been infringed, and representing clients accused of IP infringement, defamation, franchising, and domain name disputes.

Parallel Trade Investigations

The problem of parallel trade is a growing issue in the violation of IP rights. It involves the resale of a product by a seller in a market other than that intended by the manufacturer, which has multiple consequences- most notably concerning price discrimination, which affects its commercial value. Our services include investigating policy implications, government regulations like price caps and compulsory licensing, forensic analysis of products and packaging, and issuance of seizure and destruction orders.

IP - Advisory Services

Strategy

It makes good sense to strategize how IP assets can be created, protected, and utilized to gain a competitive advantage. We advise you on investments in your creation or innovation and help you derive value at various levels -pivotal to the IP wealth-creating roadmap- from initial commercial deliberations to actual implementation and execution.

Portfolio Management

Managing an IP asset is a core component of IP strategy and needs to be active and continuous instead of once-off intervention. We handle day-to-day issues, IP audits, renewals, and records of assignments and licenses, to name a few.

IP Licensing

We help you negotiate and draft license agreements responsive to the ever-changing business landscape.

Compliance

Stay compliant and realize the total value of an IP asset. Our services include- regular audits, implementation of monitoring programs, and periodic evaluation of licensing agreements.

Merger &Acquisition

When dealing with Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) involving Intellectual Property (IP), understanding the chain of title and the full scope of the IP assets is crucial. Whether acquiring an IP or engaging in a business merger, navigating IP rights' complexities carefully is essential. This includes conducting thorough due diligence, understanding fair market values, and negotiating effectively to ensure a smooth ownership transition.
Creating a comprehensive protection policy is vital. This policy should clearly define ownership rights and formalize arrangements for commercialization, sale, licensing, or franchising. Proper management of these processes ensures the safeguarding and optimal utilization of IP assets during and after the M&A process.
Our services support effective due diligence, background research, fair market value/negotiations, management of purchase and transfer, licensing, and other arrangements.
