Intellectual Property Rights

In the last decade India has gained interest as a lucrative market for business, resulting in an increase in IPR filing from outside India. Moreover, the publication of India’s national IPR policy, support schemes and amendments to various IPR laws, have revitalized the IPR regime within India.

At Krishan Kumar and Associates, the IPR team with its diverse and extensive experience is well equipped to advise and support clients on IPR matters, ranging from identification, protection, enforcement of patents, trademarks, designs and copyrights.

The team has advised various clients on strategizing, preparing and implementing the IPR policy within the organization’s framework. Additionally, the team has extensively worked with organizations to train their employees and conducting IPR mining and IPR audit sessions, which in turn has led to a change in culture and proactive IPR protection.

Over the years, the team has become skilled in successfully challenging IPR situations, such as handling IPR during a post-merger or acquisition phase, or during technology/IPR license negotiations, in cutting edge and upcoming technologies such as block chain, driverless cars, AI, etc. Further, the IPR team, in collaboration with Krishan Kumar and Associates corporate team, has also advised on various IPR issues in service agreements, product agreements, end-user agreements, opensource licensing and technology licensing.

Together with KKA’s litigation team, the IPR team has assisted clients with various issues relating to the enforcement of intellectual property. With about 15 offices across India and associate firms across the globe the firm can handle local and global issues related to IPR enforcement and litigation. We have successfully defended clients in several high-stake litigation matters.
