IP Litigation Support: Safeguarding Your Intellectual Property Rights

At AK Legal Mantra, we realize that your intellectual property (IP) is an important asset that establishes your business’s worth and reputation. It could be a trademark, patent, or copyright, but the protection of your IP via litigation becomes imperative in the event of infringement, misused, or unauthorized utilization. Our IP Litigation Support guarantees that your rights are vigorously protected, allowing you to concentrate on expanding your business while we navigate the intricacies of legal confrontation.

What is IP Litigation?

IP Litigation is the process of enforcing or defending intellectual property rights in a court of law. This occurs when there is a disagreement in the usage, ownership, or violation of patents, trademarks, copyrights, or other types of IP. In India, IP litigation is regulated by statutes such as the Patents Act, 1970, Trade Marks Act, 1999, and Copyright Act, 1957. The process may be involved, involving technical legal knowledge to deal with the technicalities of IP law and settle disputes efficiently.
