What is Intellectual Property law practice?

Intellectual Property Law is one of the fastest growing and constantly evolving practice areas in India. This domain has a large number of pure-play IP focused law firms; and also sees most large full-service legal firms having dedicated Intellectual Property teams.

Intellectual Property Law practice revolves around advising Indian and global clients and business to obtain and enforce intellectual property – Patents, Trademarks, Domain names, Copyrights, Designs, Plant Variety Protection, Regulatory and Geographical Indications by assisting in filing, prosecution, registration, licensing, valuation processes.

Intellectual property practice also includes transactional aspects such as due diligence & audits, asset management, securitization, franchising, merchandising, content acquisition, technology transfers, assignments and licensing.

With the increasingly international nature of businesses and delivery of cross border services through websites and apps, the practice of IPR law has also become technology driven and international in nature. Very often, we see companies, which have no physical presence in a foreign country, filing for trademark and domain name protection.

Intellectual property enforcement and litigation forms an integral and important component of Intellectual Property Legal Practice.

Law firms are required to handle litigation matters in courts in India involving patent and design infringement, trademark infringement; trade dress and trade name violations, passing off, copyright, and other forms of intellectual property violations including protection of confidential information and domain name disputes.

The important laws governing intellectual property in India are:

• The Copyright Act, 1957
• The Designs Act, 2000
• The Geographical Indications of Goods (Registration and Protection) Act, 1999
• The Information Technology Act, 2000
• The Patents Act, 1970 (as amended)
