The Core Consulting Group

In case of infringement of intellectual property rights (i.e. patent, industrial designs, copyright, related rights, trademarks, and geographical indications) we assist our clients in taking appropriate and quick remedial measures. It could involve legal remedy, arbitration or even out of court settlement, depending upon the situation.

However, if you are using intellectual property that belongs to others, then we guide you through the negotiations in case you are buying it or acquiring the rights to use it (by taking a license).

Our IP risk management and early warning system stops you from infringing IPs of others, thereby, avoiding disputes and consequent expensive litigations.

IP Risk management and Early warning system – providing “safety net” to our clients

IP Audit

In most of the cases, companies are not clear about how to create, protect and exploit their intangible assets (i.e.; intellectual properties). Also, on occasions, companies are unaware of the wealth of assets they possess in the form of information, creative ideas and know-how. As the first step we conduct an IP Audit to identify all the valuable information in order to chalk out the IP policy and strategy.

Verification with trademark database

Verifying with trademark databases to avoid using an existing trademark and protecting trademarks before launching a new product or service with a new brand name.

Undesirable meaning in foreign language

In case of exports market we ensure that you do not use brand names that may have an undesirable meaning in a foreign language.

Acquire IPR before your competitor

We identify patentable subject matter and make sure it is patented early enough to avoid losing the invention to competitors.

Mainating secrecy

Taking appropriate steps to ensure that patentable inventions are not shared with others or published before filing a patent application. We suggest appropriate measures on how to protect your trade secrets within and outside the enterprise and prepare, where needed, confidentiality agreements when negotiating and sharing information with business partners.

Be protected in export market

For export-oriented firms, we ensure that your IP is protected in all potential export markets.

Joint Research

When conducting joint research with other enterprises or research institutes, we negotiate and ensure at the outset that there is sufficient clarity on who will own potential IP generated from the research project.

Active monitoring to prevent infringement

Monitoring the market on regular basis and ensuring that your IP assets are not being infringed.
