Having a right Design Creation, Protection, and Commercialization Strategy is as important as having a strong Intellectual Property backing the inherent technology, brand, or creative work. A mismatch between the two can disturb the entire equation leading to development of an unenforceable design, which also has low commercial viability and hence low valuation. Advisory and Opinions therefore are extremely crucial and lay the much desired foundation for a Corporate to strategize each step in the IP Portfolio Creation, Protection, Management, and Enforcement Activities.
Our team’s strategic and pragmatic approach includes advising on the full spectrum of relief from interim injunctions or search and seizure orders to the enforcement of awards of damages or account of profit orders. We have specific experience of design valuation and royalty disputes. We also are highly experienced in design related matters around the globe. We help our clients to obtain the full benefit of their design assets through registration and assignment, enforcing their designs where needed and preventing piracy of the designs of others.
Our team’s advisory and opinions also include complete due diligence of client’s IP portfolio and analysis of potential threats that the Corporate might face in its efforts of protecting and enforcing the portfolio. Focused risk assessment can help client’s take an informed decision on complex matters concerning protection and litigation of their rights in multiple geographies. They say it correctly “If you don’t measure it, you can’t manage it”, and this saying explains the entire intent of this service vertical.
