Intellectual Property Services in India

Full intellectual property services in India: patent and trademark prosecution, copyright and design registration, IP licensing, assignments, and litigation. DuxLegis Mumbai, Navi Mumbai & Nagpur.

What intellectual property services include

Intellectual property services cover the full lifecycle of patents, trademarks, copyrights, industrial designs, trade secrets, geographical indications, and plant variety rights—from clearance searches and filings through prosecution, portfolio management, licensing, and enforcement.

DuxLegis provides end-to-end intellectual property services for startups, universities, MSMEs, and multinational corporations. Our team includes registered patent agents, trademark attorneys, and advocates for litigation and commercial transactions.

Patent and trademark services

Patent services include prior-art analysis, patentability opinions, provisional and complete specification drafting, PCT national phase entry, examination responses, oppositions, and annuity management. Trademark services cover clearance searches, multi-class filings, oppositions, renewals, watch services, and anti-counterfeiting programmes.

We serve pharmaceutical, software, mechanical, chemical, and consumer product clients from our Kharghar drafting centre with coordination to Fort Mumbai and Nagpur for client meetings and Maharashtra litigation.

Copyright, design, and transactional IP services

Copyright services include registration, licensing, and enforcement for software, media, and creative works. Design registration protects product appearance under the Designs Act, 2000. Transactional services cover IP assignments, technology transfer agreements, franchise and distribution licences, and due diligence for investment and M&A.

Trade secret programmes, data protection alignment with the DPDP Act, and customs recordals complement registration services when brands or inventions face commercial misuse.

IP enforcement and dispute resolution

When infringement arises, intellectual property services extend to cease-and-desist letters, civil suits for injunction and damages, trademark and patent opposition proceedings, and coordination with criminal enforcement where appropriate.

DuxLegis litigators act before district courts, high courts, and the Intellectual Property Division where matters require advocate representation beyond Patent Office or Registry proceedings.

How to engage DuxLegis

Initial consultations clarify your invention, brand, or enforcement issue, outline a filing or litigation strategy, and provide itemized fee estimates separating official government charges from professional fees.

Most prosecution and advisory intellectual property services are delivered remotely; walk-in consultations are available at Kharghar (Navi Mumbai), Fort (Mumbai), and Nagpur. Cross-border filings are coordinated with US and international associates.
