Intellectual Property Rights
Trademark, copyright and patent protection — from search and filing to opposition, renewal and enforcement.
Your brand, your creative work and your inventions are business assets that deserve the same protection as any other property. Niti Tattva helps individuals, startups and established businesses secure and defend their intellectual property in India.
We manage the full lifecycle — clearance searches, drafting and filing, responding to examination reports and objections, contesting oppositions, and taking action against infringement and passing off. Where a dispute arises, we act before the Registry, the IP Division of the High Courts and appellate forums.
What we do
- Trademark availability searches and clearance opinions
- Trademark, copyright and patent application drafting and filing
- Replies to examination reports, show-cause hearings and oppositions
- Trademark watch, renewals and portfolio management
- Assignment, licensing and franchising agreements
- Cease-and-desist notices, infringement and passing-off actions

Yes. We assess the claim, advise on your exposure and options, and draft a considered reply or negotiate a resolution.
