Copyright & Defamation Litigation
Court action for copyright infringement and defamation, through independent counsel
When takedowns aren't enough, for example against repeat infringers, anonymous site operators or serious defamation, a court case may be the next step.
Optional legal escalation through independent counsel; fees quoted per matter. Counsel can seek injunctions and damages and, against piracy sites, orders directing internet providers to block access, including dynamic injunctions that extend to mirror sites.
We prepare the evidence from our monitoring and keep the case file up to date. Professional, court and filing fees are billed in addition to the service fee.
Trademark Registration — Word Mark / Logo
Trademark filing for word marks and logos, through independent attorneys
A registered trademark is the basis of most brand enforcement, and many marketplace and platform programmes ask for one.
Through independent trademark attorneys, we coordinate the search and clearance, classification, filing, examination replies, oppositions and renewals for your word marks and logos.
Registration strengthens your position in takedowns, platform programmes and disputes. Professional and registry fees are quoted per matter and billed in addition to the service fee.
Physical Raids & Enforcement Actions
On-ground action against counterfeit stock, through the police or the courts
When counterfeits are made or stored at a physical location, enforcement can take one of two routes, both through independent counsel.
Counsel can file a complaint with the police, who decide whether to search and seize, or ask a civil court to appoint a local commissioner to inspect and seize goods, which gives stronger evidence for later litigation. Which route is faster depends on the case.
We handle the investigation, evidence and coordination around the action. Costs are quoted per matter and billed in addition to the service fee; court-appointed commissioners' fees and storage of seized goods are extra.
Personality Rights Litigation
Court action to protect your name, image, voice and likeness, through independent counsel
Deepfakes, fake endorsements and unauthorised merchandise increasingly misuse well-known people's names, faces and voices.
Independent counsel can bring a suit to protect your personality rights. Indian courts have granted injunctions in such cases, including orders against unknown defendants and directions to platforms to take down the listed content.
We supply the monitoring evidence and check compliance after an order. Fees are quoted per matter and billed separately.
Criminal Complaints & Law Enforcement Reporting
Police and cybercrime complaints for fraud, impersonation and piracy
When misconduct is a crime, such as fraud, impersonation or large-scale piracy, a police complaint may be the right step.
We prepare complaint packs for cybercrime units (in India via cybercrime.gov.in or the 1930 helpline) and track progress. Outcomes rest with the authorities.
Each pack holds the evidence, a timeline and the details investigators ask for. Where a lawyer has to draft or file the complaint, independent counsel does so, with fees quoted per matter.
Cyber Investigation Case
Forensic cyber investigations for civil or criminal proceedings
Complex matters, such as coordinated impersonation networks, financial fraud or cross-border infringement, need a dedicated investigation.
We bring our analysts, independent investigators and counsel together in one workstream, and structure the findings for use in civil suits, criminal complaints and regulatory filings.
The result is a documented record of what happened, as far as the evidence shows. Fees are quoted per matter and billed in addition to the service fee.
