Intellectual Property & Brand Protection
At Oberoi & Partners, we advise businesses, creators, and brands on protecting, managing, and commercialising intellectual property in India and across international markets. In an economy driven by branding, content, and innovation, intellectual property is not a formality—it is a core business asset.
Our intellectual property practice covers trademarks, copyrights, designs, and IP enforcement, with a strong focus on commercial application. We assist clients from the earliest stages of brand creation to large-scale domestic and international expansion, ensuring that intellectual property rights are properly registered, defensible, and aligned with business strategy.
We regularly advise on international trademark filings, including UK, US, EU, and UAE jurisdictions, and represent clients in oppositions, infringement actions, and brand enforcement matters. Our approach is practical and litigation-aware—focused on preventing disputes where possible and enforcing rights decisively when required.
