WHAT WE DO
Patent Services
A patent is an exclusive legal right granted for an invention, allowing the owner to prevent others from making, using, or selling it for 20 years. An invention must be novel, non-obvious, and industrially applicable to be patented. At ELLECTUALS, we offer expert patent drafting, filing, and prosecution services—protect your innovation with us!
Indian Patent Services
Our Indian patent services cover patent filing and registration, where we draft and file patent applications with the Indian Patent Office (IPO) under the Patents Act, 1970. We also handle patent prosecution, including responding to examination reports and assisting in securing patent grants.
To ensure long-term protection, we provide patent maintenance services, which include renewals and annuity payments. Additionally, our patent watch services monitor granted patents and applications to detect possible infringements. In case of disputes, we manage patent litigation, handling patent invalidation, infringement suits, and opposition proceedings before the courts.
International Patent Assistance
For global patent protection, we assist in filing applications via the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT), enabling inventors to seek patent protection in multiple countries. We also handle direct national phase filings for PCT applications in various jurisdictions and foreign filing via the Paris Convention, allowing applicants to claim priority in other countries. Our services include patent prosecution and maintenance to navigate office actions, renewals, and international patent portfolio management.
Startup Assistance under the Startup Facilitator Scheme
We support startups registered under the Startup India Initiative by offering discounted patent filing, prosecution, and maintenance services under the Startup Intellectual Property Protection (SIPP) Scheme.
Trademark Services
A trademark is a unique sign, logo, word, or symbol that distinguishes a brand’s goods or services from others. It provides exclusive rights to use the mark and prevents unauthorized use by competitors. At ELLECTUALS, we assist with trademark registration, protection, and enforcement—secure your brand identity with us!
Indian Trademark Services
Our trademark services include trademark filing and registration, where we conduct searches, file applications, and obtain registration from the Controller General of Patents, Designs, and Trademarks (CGPDTM). We also provide trademark maintenance, handling renewals and restorations. In case of disputes, we manage trademark litigation, including infringement and passing-off disputes before courts and tribunals.
International Trademark Assistance
For global brand protection, we assist with Madrid Protocol filings, enabling trademark registration in multiple jurisdictions through the WIPO-administered Madrid System. We also handle foreign direct filings, securing trademarks in specific countries, and provide opposition and enforcement services to counter objections, office actions, and infringement cases.
Design Protection
Our firm offers comprehensive design protection services under the Designs Act, 2000. We handle design filing and registration to ensure legal protection for unique industrial designs. Additionally, we manage design enforcement, including litigation and infringement actions. For global protection, we assist with international design filings under the Hague System.
Geographical Indications (GI) Protection
We assist in obtaining GI status under the Geographical Indications of Goods (Registration and Protection) Act, 1999. Our services include filing and registration to secure GI tags for traditional and region-specific products. We also provide GI enforcement and opposition services to manage disputes and prevent unauthorized use of registered GIs.
Copyright Protection
We offer a full range of copyright services under the Copyright Act, 1957. This includes copyright registration for literary, artistic, musical, and cinematographic works.
