Intellectual Property Law in India

Indian intellectual property law sits across the Patents Act, the Trade Marks Act, the Copyright Act, the Designs Act, and the Geographical Indications Act, with overlapping doctrine emerging from High Court and Supreme Court decisions on infringement, validity, and remedies.

The articles in this section concentrate on the IP issues that most often arise for technology companies operating in India: software and AI-generated work copyright treatment, trademark protection of digital brands, patent eligibility for software-related inventions, licensing structures, and enforcement strategy across civil suits, cease-and-desist mechanics, and platform takedowns.

Each piece is grounded in current Indian case law and the specific evidentiary and procedural realities of Indian IP litigation, rather than in generic global IP framings.
