Our Story
"The drafting is the difference. Every file I touch is founder-reviewed. No paralegal gets your case."
Eighteen years ago, this firm was founded on a single belief — that India’s small and medium businesses deserve the same quality of IP drafting that multinational corporations command. Not a discounted version. Not a template-driven shortcut. The actual drafting that wins.
We started by taking on the hard cases. Oppositions filed by giants. Cease-and-desist letters from FMCG majors. Trademark disputes where the odds were stacked entirely against our clients. We won. Consistently. Not by volume, but by the quality of the argument.
Today, we are India’s MSME-first IP firm. Backed by Beryl Agency — a branding studio operating across 19 countries — we bring both legal precision and brand strategy thinking to every engagement. Our pricing is transparent. Our drafting is founder-reviewed. Our promise is simple: no surprises, no handoffs.

Case Wins
We have beaten the giants.
When India’s largest corporations have come knocking, our drafting has held the line. Here is a glimpse.
VS
ITC Limited
Trademark Opposition
Successfully defended a small Indian manufacturer against trademark opposition filed by ITC Limited. The matter involved phonetic similarity claims that we systematically dismantled through evidence based drafting.
Outcome, Mark proceeded to registration.
VS
Puma SE
Trademark Dispute
Represented an MSME apparel brand against opposition from Puma SE. Demonstrated absence of likelihood of confusion in goods classification and successfully argued the matter through hearing.
Outcome, Opposition dismissed.
VS
Multinational FMCG Major
Brand Defence
Defended a regional snack food brand from a cease and desist sent by a multinational FMCG company. Detailed prior use evidence and class differentiation analysis carried the matter.
Outcome, Brand retained, no settlement paid.
VS
International Apparel Group
Opposition Proceedings
Successfully countered opposition filed by an international apparel group against a Delhi based MSME. The drafting strategy focused on distinctiveness and conceptual dissimilarity.
Outcome, Registration granted.
From the Founder
"Most IP firms in India treat trademark filing as paperwork. I treat it as the legal foundation of a brand. Eighteen years ago, I started practicing because I believed MSMEs deserved the same quality of drafting that ITC and Puma get. Today, we deliver that. Every file I draft. Every strategy I review. That is the promise."

Our Journey
Eighteen years.
One standard.
2006 — Foundation
Practice established
Founded with one mandate: deliver the quality of IP drafting that large corporations receive, priced for the businesses that need protection most. India’s MSMEs.
2010–2015 — Landmark Wins
Beating the giants
Successful trademark opposition defences against ITC Limited and Puma SE. Cases that proved founder-led drafting could out-argue the most well-resourced legal teams in India.
2016 — Beryl Integration
Brand intelligence added
Integration with Beryl Agency brought brand strategy thinking into the IP practice. Naming, identity, and positioning analysis became part of every trademark strategy.

Client portfolio
Trademarks and Copyright is part of Beryl Agency — a branding studio that has operated across 19 countries for over 16 years. Most IP firms protect brands without understanding them. We start from the brand: how it was built, what it communicates, where it competes.
That brand intelligence shapes the IP strategy. Class selection, distinctiveness arguments, class differentiation in opposition matters. When a multinational sends a cease-and-desist citing similarity, the argument that wins is not purely legal. It is built on identity, meaning, and market positioning.
