Why Businesses Choose Corpus Juris Legal
Intellectual property protection in India has become commercially critical — not just for technology companies, but for any business with a brand, a product, or proprietary processes that competitors might replicate. India's IP regime covers trademarks under the Trade Marks Act 1999, patents under the Patents Act 1970, copyright under the Copyright Act 1957, and designs under the Designs Act 2000. Each has distinct registration procedures, protection scope, and enforcement mechanisms. Corpus Juris Legal's IP practice handles the full lifecycle: prosecution (filing and registration), portfolio management, licensing and assignment, and enforcement through civil and criminal proceedings. Our Delhi base gives us direct access to the IP Division of the Delhi High Court, one of the most experienced IP courts in Asia.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does trademark registration take in India?+
After filing, an application is examined within 3-6 months. If no objection is raised, it proceeds to publication in the Trademark Journal. If no opposition is filed within four months of publication, registration is granted — typically 18-24 months from filing in a straightforward case. Objections and oppositions extend the timeline.
Can a foreign company register a trademark in India without a local presence?+
Yes. Foreign companies can file trademark applications in India either directly or through the Madrid Protocol (international registration). An Indian trademark attorney must be appointed as agent for prosecution. We regularly represent foreign companies in Indian trademark matters.
What IP protection should a tech startup secure first?+
Priority depends on your business model. If your brand is the primary commercial asset, trademark registration is first. If you have a novel technical process or product, a patent application should be filed as early as possible (before any public disclosure). For SaaS businesses, copyright in software code and database rights are also important.
