Trademark

In this era of globalization, India has emerged as the world’s most rapidly expanding consumption-driven economy, attracting growth-oriented enterprises from across the globe. Simultaneously, the country fosters a fertile and dynamic environment for a wide range of goods and services businesses, thereby intensifying competition across sectors. In such a competitive landscape, robust trademark protection has become essential to safeguard economic progress, preserve brand value, and promote healthy market dynamics.

As a premier IP law firm, L.S. Davar & Co. routinely represents clients in high-stakes trademark litigations, drawing upon judicial precedents to develop and apply best practices. In parallel, the firm exercises vigilant oversight of all legislative amendments to the Trade Marks Act, 1999, ensuring that such updates are promptly incorporated into its trademark prosecution practices before the Indian Trademark Office.

Since our establishment in 1932, we have maintained an average client retention rate exceeding 30 years in trademark prosecution matters. Several of our client relationships span over five decades, reflecting our unwavering commitment to legal excellence and client satisfaction. Our trademark department currently consists of 40 highly experienced attorneys, each with an average of more than 15 years of professional experience and academic qualifications from India’s most prestigious institutions. Recognizing the rapidly evolving nature of the trademark ecosystem, we prioritize continuous professional development. To this end, we conduct monthly training programs aimed at expanding legal knowledge, refining practical skills, and reinforcing professional responsibility — ensuring our attorneys remain at the forefront of trademark law.
