Intellectual Property
India has kept pace with the prolific changes taking place rapidly in the sphere of Information Technology globally and, in many cases, it has been at the very forefront of those changes. These changes include the creation of new and amended laws in order to protect the interests of businesses driven by innovation and creation of new strategic assets and brands. Intellectual property rights (IPRs) and their relation to international trade, investment, technology transfer, innovation and growth is a critically important issue that remains intrinsic to the growth of Intellectual property of individuals as well as businesses, especially in this era of start-ups. Laws relating to intellectual property rights play a major role in the field of legal enforcement as this is a blooming field which needs sufficient protection and is still needs nurturing in its nascent stage.
We at, JURIDIX, have a specific team dealing with such cases with a robust research regime and expertise in the following sub-topics:
1. Copyright
Copyright is a set of exclusive legal rights which have been guaranteed to the authors over their original work for a finite time. Prevention of unlawful distribution of copyrighted material is an offence.
We at, JURIDIX, have our core competency to protect the authors from the consequences of their Copyright.
2. Trademarks
The advent of industrial revolution gave rise to large scale production and distribution of goods due to which arose the need for securing trademarks as brand value became a prime factor for businessmen in securing the market for their products which was secured by only a trademark. Trademark is more of an industrial property than an intellectual property as it deals in recognition of a product in a particular industry. It contains various intellectual properties within itself which are majorly copyrights and designs.
After the emergence of the concept of LPG (Liberalisation Privatisation Globalisation), every phase of Indian economy is facing competition to meet up the global needs of establishing itself. From a broad perspective, intellectual property law constitutes a major part of competition law as it protects the prevailing competition in the market.
3. Patents
Patents are granted by the government/authorities and bestow the sole right upon the creator of an invention to make, use, and sell that invention for a set period of time. Unlike copyright, which arises automatically on creation of a work, patents are only granted after the applicant satisfies the requirements of registration. The registration process imposes a number of limits and safeguards on the types of inventions that are patented, the scope of monopoly granted and the nature of information which is disclosed in the patents.
We, at JURIDIX, help our clients to secure their IPRs from start to finish by assisting them in applying for registration of their respective unique trademarks, copyrights and patients and also, in case someone tries to infringe upon their unique IPRs, by helping them in defending their IPRs.
