Intellectual Property​

J C GUPTA & CO provides advice on a full range of Intellectual property issues.
Our lawyers handle both contentious as well as non-contentious matters
having expertise in traditional forms of IP such as trademarks, copyrights,
patents, and also in non-conventional areas of intangible property like
geographical indications and industrial designs.
On the litigation and enforcement front, our lawyers have been engaged in
both civil and criminal cases from diverse business sectors such as healthcare,
pharmaceutical, software, media & entertainment and fashion ranging from
standard trade mark and copyright infringement disputes to complex patent
infringement matters. Our lawyers also have the experience of collecting
evidence as Court Commissioners for executing John Doe and Anton Piller
Orders. Apart from litigation, we have also acted for leading international and
domestic clients on domain name disputes in arbitration proceedings before
the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) and the National Internet
Exchange of India (NIXI).
On the transactional side, our lawyers have acted on cross-border deals
involving transfer and use of IP rights such as copyright acquisitions,
franchising models, trade mark licenses, technology transfer and software
development agreements. We have undertaken due diligences on target
companies with special focus on intellectual property rights and advised on
structure options to acquire and protect such rights. We also regularly advise
on data protection and privacy issues under the Indian law.
