- Intellectual Property Litigation in India
India’s dynamic marketplace fosters innovation but also calls for robust intellectual property litigation to defend it. Whether you’re facing infringement issues, seeking interim relief, or resolving complex intellectual property disputes, engaging a skilled IP litigation attorney can mean the difference between loss and protection. As a specialised intellectual property litigation law firm with global exposure, we guide entrepreneurs and businesses worldwide through India’s distinctive legal landscape.
Over the past decade, IP disputes in India have become considerably more efficient. The Commercial Courts Act, 2015 classifies IP cases as commercial, streamlining pre-trial processes and setting strict timelines to fast-track hearings – typically resolving within 12 to 18 months.
India’s Commercial Courts (including benches in Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai) now provide dedicated forums for IP litigation. These courts focus on speed and allow urgent interim measures such as injunctions to preserve rights while cases unfold.
As a leading intellectual property litigation law firm, we specialise in:
We analyse your IP rights (trademarks, patents, designs, copyrights) and craft a tailored litigation plan. We may recommend early interim relief to protect your rights from the outset.
Depending on your case value and complexity, we file with district courts or directly with the Commercial Division of the High Court.
Urgent relief via preliminary or ex-parte injunctions prevents irreversible damage. Courts assess a strong prima facie case, balance of convenience, and irreparable harm.
Discovery, witness statements, expert testimony, and detailed pleadings define the trial phase. India’s IP benches now impose rigorous timelines to expedite proceedings.
Outcomes may include injunctions, damages, accounts of profits, or destruction of infringing goods. Remedies are tailored to your commercial and legal needs.
If needed, we handle appeals in the High Court or Supreme Court. We also assist in enforcing judgments through courts or leveraging Anton Piller and customs measures.
