Your name, logo, product design, code and content are often worth more than your physical assets. Global Vision Law Firm registers, protects and enforces intellectual property for startups, MSMEs, creators and companies, from the Trade Marks Registry to the Delhi High Court.
Tap what you want to protect.
Registration secures your rights. Contracts let you make money from them. Enforcement stops others from taking them. We handle all three.
Searches, filing, objection replies, hearings, oppositions, renewals and well-known mark recognition.
Patentability searches, drafting, filing, prosecution, PCT filings and oppositions.
Registration of software, literary, artistic, musical and cinematograph works, plus licensing.
Protection for the shape, pattern and ornamentation of products, from packaging to devices.
Infringement and passing-off suits, injunctions and appeals, including before the Delhi High Court's IP Division.
Action against counterfeit listings, fake websites, impersonation and social media misuse.
Turn your IP into revenue with licences, franchises, assignments and technology transfer deals.
Portfolio audits and due diligence for funding or M&A, plus geographical indication and plant variety filings.
Some rights expire, while others can last forever if you keep renewing them or keep the secret. Knowing the difference shapes how you protect each part of your business.
A trademark renewed every 10 years can protect your brand for as long as your business exists. That's why we treat the brand as the first thing to secure.
Bars are shown on a 60-year scale; striped ends can last indefinitely.
Most of our clients start with their brand. Here's the path from a name on a whiteboard to the ® symbol.
IP practice changes every year. These recent changes affect how we file and protect your rights.
The amended Geographical Indications Rules sharply reduced official fees, including renewal fees, making GI registration far more affordable for producer groups.
The Patent Office's revised guidelines for computer-related inventions explain how AI, machine learning and blockchain inventions are examined.
The Delhi High Court continues to grant John Doe and dynamic injunctions directing marketplaces to take down counterfeit listings and block fake websites.
The Trade Marks Registry published a revised draft practice manual. The Trade Marks Act, 1999 and Rules, 2017 continue to govern registration.
These are the IP problems businesses and creators bring to us most often, and how we approach each one.
The right intellectual property lawyer is the one who protects what matters most to your business, not the one with the biggest advertisement.
A firm that files without searching is gambling with your brand and your fees.
Ask whether they handle hearings, oppositions and infringement suits, not only filings.
Patent filings need a registered patent agent; court cases need advocates. Check both.
Missed reply deadlines and renewals are the most common way IP rights are lost.
You should know the official fee and the professional fee for every step before it happens.
Good IP advice links your registrations to contracts, funding and growth plans.
An intellectual property lawyer helps you identify, register, commercialise and enforce rights in your brands, inventions, designs and creative work. That includes trademark and copyright registration, patent and design filings, licensing and assignment agreements, IP due diligence, and action against infringers through notices, takedowns and court proceedings.
You receive an application number as soon as the application is filed and can use the ™ symbol immediately. The time to registration depends on the Registry's workload, whether objections are raised and whether anyone opposes the mark during the four-month opposition window after publication in the Trade Marks Journal.
The official e-filing fee is ₹4,500 per class for individuals, startups and small enterprises, and ₹9,000 per class for other applicants. Our professional fee covers the search, filing and tracking, and we quote separately and in advance for objection replies, hearings or oppositions if they arise.
A trademark lasts 10 years and can be renewed indefinitely. A patent lasts up to 20 years. A registered design lasts 10 years, extendable by 5 years. Copyright in most literary, artistic and musical works lasts for the author's lifetime plus 60 years. A geographical indication is registered for 10 years and can be renewed.
No. Copyright exists automatically once an original work is created. Registration with the Copyright Office is optional but gives you a certificate that serves as prima facie evidence in court, which makes enforcement much easier.
Yes. India recognises rights based on prior use, and you can stop others through a passing-off action even without registration. But registration makes enforcement far simpler and lets you sue for infringement. File early and use the ™ symbol until the mark is registered, then switch to ®.
Options include a cease-and-desist notice, marketplace and social media takedowns, an opposition or rectification at the Registry, and a civil suit for infringement or passing off with an interim injunction and damages. In appropriate cases, criminal complaints can also be filed against counterfeiters.
The Delhi High Court has a dedicated Intellectual Property Division that hears commercial IP suits of the prescribed value and IP appeals and petitions. Smaller commercial IP suits are filed before the district commercial courts.
Yes. We file international trademark applications through the Madrid Protocol and patent applications through the PCT, and coordinate direct filings in other countries through associate firms.
It depends on the contract and the type of work. Employers generally own copyright in work made by employees in the course of employment, but freelancers and agencies usually own what they create unless there is a written assignment. Get assignment clauses right before the work starts.
Tell us what you want to protect or enforce. An IP lawyer will call you with the right protection, the timeline and a fixed quote.
