Intellectual Property (IP) Services

The most important corporate asset a company owns is a brand, and securing protection for it begins with filing for a trademark. Whether it is your name, logo, tagline, product packaging, or a unique sound or colour combination, we help to ensure that your brand identity is legally protected from misuse. Our services cover more than just the ability to offer the filing of a trademark application, for we will walk you through each strategic and legal milestone in protecting what separates your business from the rest.

We start by performing thorough trademark searches for availability in order to ascertain the risks involved prior to filing. Most applications fall by the wayside because companies fail to check whether there are similar marks; we avoid that uncertainty by providing a clear risk assessment. Once the mark is ready to be filed, we take on the entire procedure, from drafting the application to responding to the examination report, right through to representation before the Trademark Registry.

Trademark protection does not stop with the achievement of registration but involves the ongoing policing of your mark to ensure that no conflicting applications fall through the cracks. If the infringement or misuse is occurring online, in the marketplace, or by a competitor, we will send a legal notice, takedown, opposition, cancellation, or civil enforcement when warranted.

For growing brands, we also assist in developing long-term IP strategies: trademark portfolios, planning the expansion of your brand, licensing arrangements, assignment agreements, and protection against counterfeiting. Whether you are a start-up choosing your first brand name or an established business managing multiple trademarks across different classes, we will make sure that your identity stays protected, enforceable, and commercially strong.

Your brand speaks for your business—our job is to keep that voice yours alone.

Creative works are worthy of protection, be it code, photos, website content, designs, marketing materials, music, training modules, or videos. Copyright protects original works against copying, reproduction, or any other form of misuse. We assist creators, businesses, and content-driven companies in securing ownership of their intellectual output and in enforcing their rights against infringement.

We commence by assisting our clients with identifying what is entitled to protection under copyright. Many organisations are unaware of how much of their internal work—such as software, manuals, product descriptions, and presentations—automatically falls under the copyright law. We assist in formalising that ownership through applications, documentation, agreements, and timely registration.

We handle the entire registration process, from preparing filings to advising on matters of authorship and ownership, and recording your copyright. For companies outsourcing creative work, we draft clear assignment agreements so that all rights legally transfer to you—something often overlooked and later disputed.

In the event of infringement, we quickly take action, sending out legal notices, organizing online takedowns, filing complaints, and recommending strategy for litigation. If your content has been copied onto social media, reproduced on another site that's in competition with yours, or commercially used without permission, we offer professional and strategic advice regarding rights enforcement.

We also support businesses in building copyright compliance systems, especially for technology companies, agencies, and content-led organizations, by providing guidance on licensing, avoiding third-party copyright violations, and creating internal IP policies.

Copyright protection is not only legal, but it's commercial, too. It protects the value of your creations and prevents others from profiting from your work. We will ensure your creations remain yours.

Innovations drive progress, and patents ensure that your inventions stay protected while giving you a competitive advantage. Whether your idea is a new product, an innovative process, a technical improvement, or a piece of cutting-edge research, we help you secure and defend patent rights from start to finish.

The process of patenting begins much earlier than filing. We do prior-art searches in detail to evaluate novelty, identify similar patents, and assess the chances of approval. This initial stage helps you make informed decisions about patentability and future commercial strategy. Once the scope is clear, we work with you to draft technically sound patent specifications, claims, and diagrams—documents that determine the strength and enforceability of your patent.

Our services include provisional and complete patent filings, coordination with the patent examiner for any objections, and prosecution before grant. In developing technology portfolios for business, we help clients plan long-term patent strategies, identifying patentable elements of their technology and managing filings across jurisdictions.

Besides registration, we assist in patent licensing, assignments, valuation, and commercialization. In cases of infringement, we assist in the enforcement through litigation, negotiations, and cease-and-desist procedures.

Patents can make or break a company's competitive advantage. We want to make sure your innovation is not only protected but positioned to deliver long-term strategic value. Whether you are a startup innovating in deep tech or an established company expanding your R&D portfolio, we make the patenting process clear, structured, and commercially aligned with your goals.

A product's appearance can be as important as its technology or function. Design registration protects the aesthetic elements that include the shape, pattern, configuration, surface finish that visually distinguishes your product. Wherever the appearance is influential in the customer's choice, design rights assume vital importance for brands.

We help businesses from fashion, manufacturing, consumer goods, electronics, packaging, and lifestyle industries protect their creative designs fast and efficiently. Our services start from design searches, which help ensure the novelty of your design and assess if similar designs already exist.

Once cleared, we handle the entire filing process: preparing representations, drafting descriptions, identifying the correct class, and managing the application with the Designs Office. The key to strong design protection lies in accurate, detailed visual representations—something we coordinate carefully to avoid objections or limitations later.

In case of objections, we file well-supported submissions to protect your rights. Following registration, we advise on renewals, marking guidelines, and best practices to prevent imitation.

When infringement has taken place, be it by similar product shapes, packaging, or design elements, we act through legal notices, negotiations, and design enforcement proceedings.

Design rights can provide rapid, inexpensive protection for companies operating in highly visual or consumer-driven industries. We ensure that the aesthetic of your product remains exclusively your own.

Intellectual property is powerful when used strategically. Beyond registration, companies need to know how to commercialise, license, monetise, and protect their IP assets across varied business models and jurisdictions. Our advisory services help companies treat IP as a long-term business investment and not just a legal formality.

We work with startups, enterprises, creators, and investors to assess their existing IP, identify the gaps, and build strong portfolios. This covers trademarks, copyrights, patents, trade secrets, and designs. We help you understand which assets need protection first, how they should be structured, and how they can support expansion plans.

IP Licensing: Licensing is a major part of IP strategy. Whether you want to license your brand, technology, or creative work—or acquire rights from others—we draft and negotiate licensing agreements that protect your interests. We make sure there is clarity on ownership, permitted use, revenue sharing, restrictions, consequences of infringement, and mechanisms for dispute resolution.

We clearly define the IP rights and legally secure them for any business entering into collaborations, joint ventures, franchising, or distribution arrangements. Many disputes arise simply because of unclear IP ownership; our advisory approach ensures you never face such uncertainty.

While registering IP is just the first step, its protection requires constant vigilance and enforcement. With today's digital and highly competitive markets, infringement may occur anywhere: online marketplaces, social media, e-commerce platforms, and even within the industry networks. We help businesses stay compliant with IP laws and take firm action when their rights are violated.

Our compliance services include reviewing your branding, marketing, packaging, and product materials for any conflict with existing IP rights. This proactive approach helps avoid disputes, takedowns, and costly litigation. If your company relies on frequent use of third-party content, technology, or creative assets, we devise internal systems and structure to maintain proper licensure and usage.

When infringement is detected through monitoring, reports, or client alerts, enforcement is where IP protection becomes real. This includes issuing cease-and-desist notices, filing oppositions, coordinating online takedowns on e-commerce and social platforms, and initiating legal proceedings when necessary. For serious cases of counterfeiting or piracy, we assist with criminal complaints and work with enforcement agencies.

We also undertake dispute resolution before IP offices, courts, and tribunals to ensure that your rights are strongly and strategically asserted. Every enforcement action is tailor-made—sometimes, negotiation works; sometimes only strict litigation will achieve satisfactory results.

Our goal is to ensure your intellectual property rights are protected, respected, and commercially secure at all times. A strong IP portfolio means little if it isn't actively defended—we make sure your rights remain enforceable and uncompromised.
