Intellectual property protects the names, creative works, inventions and designs a business builds. In India, registration is handled by the Office of the Controller General of Patents, Designs and Trade Marks, and the Copyright Office. This section also covers agreements that decide who owns and controls a business and its IP.
Filing and prosecution before the Trade Marks Registry and Patent Office are carried out by registered trademark or patent agents or advocates. Litigation is handled by advocates.
A brand search before adopting a name, and a written agreement before work or money changes hands, generally cost less than resolving a dispute later. Expertvuw assists with documentation and coordination alongside independent registered agents and advocates.
Under the Trade Marks Act, 1999, a registered trademark is valid for ten years from the date of application and can be renewed indefinitely for further periods of ten years each, on payment of the renewal fee. The Registry’s current procedure and fees should be checked before the expiry date, since late renewal involves additional fees.
Once an application is advertised in the Trade Marks Journal, any person may file a notice of opposition within four months from the date of advertisement, as per the Trade Marks Rules, 2017. If no opposition is filed within that period, the mark generally proceeds to registration, subject to the Registry’s process.
As per the Trade Marks Registry’s published process, the applicant is required to reply to the examination report within one month (30 days) from the date of receipt. If no reply is filed within that time, the application may be treated as abandoned. The reply should address each objection with reasons and supporting documents.
No. Under the Copyright Act, 1957, copyright arises automatically when an original work is created, and registration under Section 45 is optional. However, the entries in the Register of Copyrights serve as prima facie evidence of the particulars recorded, which can be useful if ownership or date of creation is disputed later.
Under Section 53 of the Patents Act, 1970, a patent lasts 20 years from the filing date, subject to annual renewal fees. Under Section 11 of the Designs Act, 2000, a registered design is protected for ten years, extendable once by five years. Patentability depends on novelty, inventive step and industrial application, assessed by the Patent Office.
