Practice Area
Your ideas, brand, and creative work have real value — protect them before someone else does.
KWA's Intellectual Property Rights practice covers trademark registration, patent prosecution, copyright enforcement, design protection, and IP litigation under Indian statutes including the Copyright Act, 1957, the Trade Marks Act, 1999, the Patents Act, 1970, and the Designs Act, 2000.
India's intellectual property regime rests on four key statutes: the Copyright Act, 1957 (literary, artistic, and musical works); the Trade Marks Act, 1999 (brand identifiers and marks); the Patents Act, 1970 (inventions and innovations); and the Designs Act, 2000 (aesthetic aspects of industrial designs). Our team maintains a working knowledge of all four and advises you on the right form of protection for your assets.
We assist clients with trademark registration, patent prosecution, and design filings before the relevant Indian authorities. We also enforce registered rights — sending cease-and-desist notices, seeking injunctions, and pursuing IP litigation before courts and tribunals where infringement is established.
Protection without strategy is incomplete. We work with clients to develop an IP portfolio approach that aligns with their commercial objectives — identifying what to protect, how to enforce it, and how to maximise its value over time.
