Intellectual Property
At ILTP, our commercial team specializes in intellectual property matters tailored to the Indian legal landscape. We offer comprehensive services to startups, assisting them in developing and protecting their intellectual property assets, including trademarks, copyrights, and trade secrets.
Trademarks: We recognize the critical role trademarks and service marks play in brand identification for products. Our firm excels in conducting thorough due diligence to ensure the chosen mark does not infringe upon existing trademarks. We provide comprehensive assistance in trademark filing, registration, and ongoing enforcement both in India and internationally.
Copyrights: Our experienced team assists clients in filing and registering copyrights, ensuring proper protection for their creative works. We also provide counsel on matters such as “work-for-hire” agreements, assignments, and licensing.
To safeguard our clients’ intellectual property rights, we offer expert drafting and negotiation of contracts. Our services range from One-Way non-disclosure agreements (NDA), which protect the company’s intellectual property, to IP Assignment Agreements that confirm the assignment of intellectual property created by employees, consultants, developers, vendors and advisors back to the startup. By assisting clients in these crucial steps, we ensure that the company rightfully owns its underlying intellectual property and avoids the potential risks and expenses associated with litigation.
Due diligence on IP assets: We conduct due diligence on IP assets, such as patents, trademarks, and copyrights to help identify any potential risks and strategies to secure them.
At ILTP, we are dedicated to providing customized legal solutions that align with India’s intellectual property laws and support the growth and success of startups.
