India Uses a First-to-File Trademark System — File Early or Lose Your Brand

Whoever files first in India owns the trademark, regardless of prior use elsewhere. Bad-faith squatters routinely register foreign brands before original owners. The only reliable protection is early filing ideally before market entry or public announcement Register your trademark in India →

Why Local Counsel Matters

Navigating Intellectual Property Law in India

India’s IP system is rapidly expanding and increasingly active. Achieving commercial success requires more than submitting basic paperwork. It requires navigating the Intellectual Property India office (CGPDTM), understanding Indian trademark class mappings, implementing defensive strategies against counterfeiters, and leveraging specialized High Court IP Divisions for swift enforcement.

Precise IP operates directly with licensed Indian patent attorneys and advocates. There are no offshore intermediaries, no third-party agency markups, and no coordination delays. Our English-fluent legal team handles matters end-to-end with local expertise that generalist Western firms cannot replicate.

Frequently Asked Questions About India IP

Quick answers to the most common questions foreign businesses ask about intellectual property protection in China.

Yes. US corporations can register trademarks in India directly using their US incorporation details. However, Indian law requires foreign applicants to select an address for service in India by appointing a registered Indian trademark attorney.

The strict deadline to enter the Indian national phase is 31 months from your earliest priority date. India gives US applicants one additional month compared to the standard 30-month deadline in many other countries.

Under Section 3(k) of the Indian Patents Act, software per se is excluded. However, software tied to a specific hardware technical effect, novel process, or industrial application can be successfully patented in India.

Yes. India recognizes the "First-to-Use" principle under common law. However, securing a formal statutory registration provides nationwide exclusivity and significantly simplifies legal enforcement in court.

Indian High Courts frequently grant ex-parte interim injunctions within days of filing a lawsuit, halting sales and seizing counterfeit inventory before the infringer can hide assets.

Patent holders in India must file an annual Form 27 working statement detailing whether the patented invention is being commercially worked or licensed within India.
