# Trademark, Copyright, Design & Patent Services

> Intellectual property protection in India is administered by the Controller General of Patents, Designs and Trade Marks (trademarks, patents, designs) and the Copyright Office. A registered trademark lasts ten years and is renewable indefinitely; patents last twenty years from filing; copyright exists automatically but registration gives strong evidence in disputes.

## Who this is for

- Startups and MSMEs protecting a brand name or logo
- Businesses facing a trademark objection, opposition or infringement
- Software, content and design businesses protecting their work
- Inventors and R&D teams filing patents (through partner patent agents)
