Overview
Intellectual property is the silent balance sheet of every modern business — and the most under-defended asset in most Indian companies. Our IP team registers, defends and monetises trademarks, patents, copyrights, designs and trade secrets. Mandates range from a single mark filing for an early-stage start-up to multi-jurisdictional infringement campaigns for FMCG and pharma majors.
We are based in Defence Colony, New Delhi — a 15-minute drive from the Indian Patent Office (Dwarka) and the IP Division of the Delhi High Court. That proximity matters: our partners regularly file urgent John Doe applications, raid orders and Anton Piller injunctions on the same day a brand or product is threatened.
Our team includes registered Trademark Agents and Patent Agents with combined filing experience across thousands of marks and hundreds of patents. We work alongside CAs, valuers and forensic auditors to deliver IP services that go beyond filing — including portfolio audits, M&A diligence, royalty structuring, and enforcement at customs and online platforms.

Customs Enforcement & Border Protection
Importation of counterfeits remains a primary infringement channel. We coordinate IPR recordations under the IPR (Imported Goods) Enforcement Rules, 2007, training of customs officers at ICDs and air/sea ports, and seizure follow-throughs leading to civil and criminal prosecution. Pan-India recordations and seizure mandates handled for FMCG, electronics, fashion and pharma brands.
Online & Platform Enforcement
Digital infringement now eclipses physical counterfeiting in many sectors. We handle takedown notices to e-commerce intermediaries (Amazon, Flipkart, Meesho), social-media platforms (Meta, X, YouTube), and ISPs under Section 79 read with the IT (Intermediary Guidelines) Rules, 2021. Where takedowns are insufficient, we obtain dynamic injunctions from the Delhi High Court — broad, future-effective orders that have made Delhi HC the preferred IP forum in Asia.
