INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY (IPR)

Ideas are valuable only when they are protected, managed, and leveraged effectively. At Thistle&Law LLP, we help creators, startups, and businesses secure and maximize the value of their intellectual property—transforming innovation into enduring commercial advantage. Our IPR practice covers the entire lifecycle of IP: from registration and management to enforcement, monetization, and cross-border protection.

We work across sectors such as technology, media, entertainment, fashion, healthcare, and consumer goods, helping clients align their IP portfolios with business goals while ensuring compliance with evolving Indian and international regimes.

We assist clients in identifying, protecting, and maintaining their intellectual property across multiple categories.

Our team handles trademark clearance searches, applications, oppositions, renewals, and portfolio management, ensuring protection in India and overseas.

For creative works, software, and artistic content, we manage copyright registrations and licensing, ensuring creators retain control and receive fair value.

We also guide innovators through patent and design registrations, working with technical experts and patent agents to secure innovation in product, process, and design.

We ensure that every registration strategy is practical, enforceable, and tailored to the commercial realities of your brand or invention.

Intellectual property isn’t just a legal asset, it’s a business driver. We design licensing, franchising, and assignment structures that allow businesses to expand, collaborate, and generate revenue while maintaining ownership and control.

Our team advises on co-branding, joint IP development, and cross-border licensing arrangements, ensuring compliance with Indian and foreign exchange laws.

We also help startups and investors conduct IP due diligence during mergers, acquisitions, or funding rounds, making sure innovation and brand value are accurately captured and safeguarded.

In today’s digital economy, IP enforcement requires speed, coordination, and strategic foresight. We assist clients in preventing and responding to infringement through cease-and-desist notices, opposition and rectification proceedings, and civil or criminal enforcement actions.

Our experience extends to online brand protection, counterfeit takedowns, domain name disputes, and digital piracy.

Whether it’s defending your trademark portfolio or pursuing infringers, we combine legal action with proactive monitoring and technology-based tracking to keep your brand secure and your goodwill intact.

Our IPR practice is built on three principles, protection, strategy, and value. We believe that strong IP protection must serve business objectives, not just legal compliance. Our lawyers and strategists work closely with founders, artists, and corporations to convert ideas into defensible, valuable assets that power long-term growth.

At Thistle&Law, we don’t just protect what you have created, we help you build, own, and grow your intellectual legacy.
