We are qualified to act for you before the Indian Intellectual Property Office that registers design patents. We also carry out pre-registration clearance searches to ascertain if certain design is registrable and also provide ‘freedeom-to-operate’ searches before you enter a particular market, this reduces the chances for oppositions to be filed against your design registration and helps to prepare a work plan for a re-design, if required.
Our team also advises on the relationship between designs and other IP rights including patents and trade marks as well as on enforcement of the design rights for development of a holistic IP strategy.
We can also advise you on how to protect your designs in jurisdictions around the world as we have an extensive network of overseas attorneys with whom we work.
