Focus on Substance Over Flash: Building a Lasting Legacy

-

It is easy to get caught up in the allure of networking events, flashy conferences, and headline-making activities. Many devote significant time and resources to visibility, ensuring their names are on the latest guest lists and plastered across social media. This can be effective in gaining recognition and nothing against doing it.  

However, I believe that the true path to building a lasting legacy lies in focusing on substance over flash. The commitment to understanding the unique needs of our clients and delivering meaningful results defines the firm. We immerse ourselves in the complexities of every case, whether it’s safeguarding intellectual property or navigating intricate corporate disputes. 

At the end of the day, the legal landscape is not a popularity contest. The clients who matter most recognize and appreciate the firms that prioritize substance. 

In a world full of noise, we choose to make an impact through excellence, not extravagance.


~until next time~

Cheers,

Starbucks vs. SardarBuksh

Branding your brand does not and must not mean that you copy somebody else's brand name and get a free ride upon their good will.  Trademark law is very clear in this aspect while keeping two most essential pre-requisites before registering a trademark as - 1. Trademark has to be distinctive; 2. Trademark must not be descriptive. Lot many brand owners make mistakes in understanding the concept of distinctiveness and start using brand names which are similar to the already existing trademarks which are famous. Making minor changes here and there either in spellings or color combinations or finding a rhyming words to the existing trademarks does not yield distinctiveness to your brand name. Some of the brand owners knowingly make use of such deceptively similar marks and then get sued.  In one of such interesting cases in Delhi High Court, the Court has ruled in favor of Starbucks who filed a case against a local coffee shop chain SardarBuksh for copying word mark a

Rs. 500/- me TM; Rs. 1000/- me Patent

The title certainly looks catchy but hold on and read further.. The so called IP practitioners who don't have an iota of understanding of IP Laws have flooded the market and dooming Applicants. Once they manage to file applications somehow, they have no clue how to prosecute further and take it till the registration stage. Applicants become stuck and have nowhere to go under such circumstance as they have already paid for the entire process.   Recently, one such Practitioner got stuck with Section 9(1) objection under the Trade Marks Act, 1999 and also had to file TM-M and had no clue what to with TM-M and how the objections are tackled or responded with.  Someone is trying to disrupt the market with provisional patent filing in just Rs. 2000/-. How low can it get, I keep on wondering. Filing a provisional patent application seems a joke for such practitioners as they do not care about inventors and how these inventors hold their inventions close to their heart. Some Patent Agents

Trade Marks and U(nu)sual Misunderstandings

Trade Marks registration process in India has seen enormous changes in past 2-3 years. The number of Forms have been reduced from 64 to 8. The examination time has reduced from 2 years to 5 working days - believe it or not but its true and one of the fastest all over the world!   However, the change in law or rules has not impacted some common misconceptions that are prevalent among business owners about the Trade Marks. Thought it would be good to address them here: 1. I don't need to perform search..My Trade Mark is Original in toto Applicants commonly believe that the trade name they thought is distinctive enough and don't see any need to get a search done or to get an opinion from a practitioner. Let me say something unpleasant that the name you want to trademark probably isn’t as original as you think it is, at least not in the eyes of the Trade Marks Registry. Every year, thousands of trademark applications are rejected without refunds because they too closely resembl
