How It Works

Case Assessment & Evidence Gathering

We evaluate the strength of your case, gather evidence of infringement and assess the best forum and cause of action.

Case Evaluation & Legal Opinion

We examine all relevant documents, assess the merits of your claim and provide a clear legal opinion on the prospects of success and the best forum.

Pre-Litigation Notice & Negotiation

We issue a formal cease-and-desist notice. Many infringement matters resolve at this stage through settlement.

Legal Notice & Negotiation

We issue a formal legal notice to the opposing party. Many civil disputes resolve at this stage through negotiation or mediation, saving significant time and expense.

Trial & Final Resolution

We conduct the trial diligently, leading evidence, cross-examining witnesses and making legal submissions to secure a final decree in your favour.

Decree & Execution

After a decree is passed in your favour, we assist with execution proceedings to enforce the court's order and recover what is owed to you.

Filing & Urgent Relief

Where the infringer does not comply, we file a suit and move the court for an ex-parte injunction to stop the infringing activity immediately.

Filing & Hearing

If the dispute cannot be settled, we draft and file the plaint, move for interim relief if required, and represent you through the pleadings, evidence and arguments stage.

Frequently Asked Questions

How quickly can I get an injunction against an infringer?

An ex-parte injunction can be obtained within days of filing if there is a clear case of infringement and urgency. The High Courts are particularly efficient in IP matters.

What is the time limit for filing a civil suit in India?

The Limitation Act prescribes different periods for different causes of action — generally 3 years for contract and money recovery claims, and 12 years for property suits. Act promptly to protect your rights.

Can I recover damages from an infringer?

Yes. Courts can award actual damages, an account of profits made by the infringer, and in some cases punitive damages. We present detailed evidence of loss to maximise the award.

Can I get an injunction before the case is decided?

Yes. Courts can grant interim injunctions to prevent ongoing harm while the case is being decided — for example, to prevent sale of a disputed property or stop breach of a contract.

What is a passing off action?

A passing off action protects unregistered trademarks by preventing another party from misrepresenting their goods as yours. It requires proof of reputation, misrepresentation and damage.

How long does a civil suit take in India?

Indian civil suits can take 3–10 years in the lower courts. Engaging capable legal representation from the outset and using all procedural tools available can significantly accelerate the process.

Can I take criminal action for IP infringement?

Yes. Under the Trade Marks Act, Copyright Act and other IP statutes, infringement can attract criminal penalties. We assist with police complaints, FIRs and criminal prosecution.

What is specific performance?

Specific performance is a remedy where the court orders a party to perform its contractual obligation — for example, to complete the sale of a property — rather than simply paying damages.
