Intellectual Property Rights Services
Intellectual property services in India — trademark, copyright, patent and design registration, hearings, infringement action and IP transfers by IP experts.
Intellectual Property Rights protect what makes a business distinctive — its brand, creative work, inventions, product designs and confidential know-how. Registering and enforcing them turns ideas into assets that can be licensed, sold or defended against copying.
WCP's verified IP advocates search and file applications with the Indian IP Office, respond to examination reports and oppositions, represent clients at hearings, and take action against infringement — or draft assignments and licences when IP changes hands.
What is covered:
- Trademark registration
- Copyright registration
- Patent registration
- Industrial design registration
- Trade secret protection
- IPR hearings and oppositions
- IP infringement action and IP transfers
Since the Intellectual Property Appellate Board was abolished in 2021, appeals against IP Office decisions go to the High Courts.
