The aim of copyright law is to protect the interests of creators while ensuring public access to their works.

Copyright Violations

Copyright infringement occurs when someone copies or uses another creator’s work without permission, consent, or a proper license.

Intellectual Property Litigation

Inventors, designers, developers, and authors can protect their ideas through copyright or patents to prevent others from profiting from their creations. Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) provide exclusive rights to creators to benefit commercially from their work. Types of IP protection include patents, copyrights, and trademarks.

Our IP Litigation Services

Our Intellectual Property team at SCORPION LEGAL SERVICES is experienced in handling IP litigation. We assist clients with both civil and criminal remedies for IP infringement. Civil remedies include filing suits for infringement or passing off, while criminal remedies are protected under the Trademark Act, 1999, and the Copyright Act, 1957.

Patent Service Lawyers

A patent is an exclusive right granted to an inventor by the State, prohibiting others from using, creating, or selling the invention for a specified period. Not all inventions can be patented, and other forms of intellectual property rights may also protect an invention. The primary goal of patent law is to encourage innovation by granting inventors exclusive rights to their creations. In India, patents are regulated by the Patents Act, 1970.
