Intellectual Property Rights Maintenance

There are a plethora of ways for you to enforce your intellectual property right in India from custom seizures, civil litigation to even filing for criminal liability. For instance, the Copyright Act, 1957 and the Trade Marks Act, 1999 provide for an imprisonment of 3 years and a fine of INR 2L for infringing one’s IP rights.

Various dispute resolution mechanisms are also at your disposal like Arbitration, Mediation, etc which might be proven even speedier than going for a full-fledged legal battle. You may consult competent and experienced professionals to ascertain which medium to resort to in various kinds of situations.

IP valuation has a substantial impact on an organisation’s financials and thus it is crucial to not only conduct an extensive trademark search, retaliate to all the opposing claims and get a bullet-proof registration for your IP but also to maintain that IP in times where piracy is at its peak.

You have to constantly monitor the market to check if any competitor is cashing on your trademark. Further, checking that there exist no counterfeits of your product in the market is also a task. Making prior arrangements, doing all due diligence and ensuring regulatory compliances for the renewal of IP before it expires & becomes vulnerable to duplication/piracy is also to be kept in mind.
