Intellectual Property
Protecting What You Create. Enforcing What You Own.
Your ideas, your brand, your creative work these are assets that deserve the full protection of the law. At RB & Y Associates LLP, we help individuals, startups, and businesses secure, manage, and enforce their intellectual property rights in India.
We assist clients in searching, filing, prosecuting, and obtaining trademark registrations before the Trade Marks Registry. We also handle trademark oppositions, rectification proceedings, and infringement actions — including urgent injunction applications before civil courts.
We advise creators, authors, publishers, and software developers on copyright ownership, licensing, and enforcement. We take swift action against unauthorized reproduction, plagiarism, and copyright piracy.
We assist inventors and businesses in understanding patentability, filing provisional and complete patent applications before the Indian Patent Office, and responding to examination reports.
We assist in registering industrial designs to protect the aesthetic aspects of products, and in enforcement proceedings against design piracy.
We draft technology transfer agreements, copyright licenses, franchise agreements, and brand licensing arrangements ensuring that IP owners maximize value while protecting their rights.
We advise on and pursue proceedings involving cybersquatting and unauthorized domain name registrations under the UDRP and Indian law.
Our Approach
We assess every civil dispute from a cost-benefit perspective, advising clients honestly on the merits of their case, expected timelines, and the most efficient path to resolution. Where settlement is in the client's best interest, we pursue it strategically. Where litigation is unavoidable, we are fully prepared to go the distance.
