Our team of expert patent lawyers specializes in every aspect of intellectual property (IP) law, ensuring that your inventions, processes, designs, and technology receive the highest level of protection in India and globally.
Understanding Patents
A patent is a legal right granted to an inventor that excludes others from making, using, selling, or distributing their invention for a specified period of time, usually 20 years from the filing date. In India, patents are granted by the Office of the Controller General of Patents, Designs, and Trademarks (CGPDTM) under the Indian Patents Act, 1970, ensuring the protection of both domestic and international inventors. Obtaining a patent not only safeguards your innovation but also enhances your ability to commercialize your invention, license it, and grow your business.
Our Patent Services
- Patent Search and Analysis Our team conducts exhaustive patent searches to evaluate the novelty and patentability of your idea. By reviewing existing patents, we help identify potential obstacles and assess the risk of infringement. A detailed patentability opinion helps inform your decisions before you take the next steps toward filing a patent application.
- Patent Filing and Drafting Drafting a patent application is a delicate process that requires precision. We specialize in crafting clear, concise, and comprehensive patent applications to ensure that your invention is protected adequately. Our patent lawyers assist in drafting and filing applications with the Indian Patent Office, ensuring that all legal requirements are met. We also advise on the best filing strategy, including national, regional, or international protection through the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) or other routes.
- Patent Prosecution We guide our clients through the entire patent prosecution process—from the filing of a patent application to responding to objections and obtaining approval. Our team prepares and submits responses to patent office examination reports and works with the patent examiners to address concerns, ensuring the grant of the patent with maximum protection.
- International Patents and PCT Filings With the global nature of innovation today, protecting your intellectual property worldwide is crucial. We offer advice on patent protection in international markets, guiding you through the process of filing a Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) application for streamlined international protection. Our firm has experience working with foreign law firms to ensure that patents are appropriately filed in jurisdictions outside India.
- Patent Portfolio Management Managing a portfolio of patents requires strategic oversight and ongoing care. Our team helps you track and manage your patents, advising on renewal deadlines, maintenance fees, and the ongoing commercialization of your IP assets. We help identify valuable assets within your portfolio and explore opportunities to leverage them for commercial gain.

We represent clients in patent disputes, helping them pursue legal action to safeguard their IP and seek appropriate remedies, whether through negotiations or court proceedings.
