Your brand, creative work, and designs are valuable business assets. Without proper legal protection, these assets can be copied, misused, or challenged by competitors.
The SALT Legal (TSL) helps businesses secure, manage, and enforce their intellectual property rights through structured filings and dispute resolution. Whether you are launching a new brand or protecting an established one, we help ensure your intellectual property is properly registered and legally defended when required.
Register, defend, and enforce your brand identity — from name to logo to tagline.
Trademarks protect the distinctive elements that identify your business — names, logos, slogans, and product shapes. In India, registration grants exclusive nationwide rights and a legal presumption of ownership. But protection doesn't stop at filing — when competing brands file similar marks, timely opposition or rectification is critical. TSL handles the full trademark lifecycle, from initial availability searches and registration through to opposition proceedings and enforcement.
Comprehensive search across existing registrations and pending applications to assess conflicts.
Determine appropriate classes and draft the application to maximize protection scope.
File with the Trademarks Registry and respond to examination reports or objections.
File or defend trademark opposition proceedings, and pursue rectification of conflicting registrations.
Advise on renewal timelines, portfolio management, and ongoing brand protection strategy.
Protect what you've invented — before it's copied or claimed by others.
Patents protect novel inventions, processes, and technical innovations — giving your business exclusive rights to commercially exploit what you've built. In India, a granted patent provides protection for 20 years and can significantly strengthen your competitive position, valuation, and ability to raise capital. TSL supports businesses from initial patentability assessment through to filing, prosecution, and long-term IP strategy — ensuring your innovations are defensible and commercially valuable.
Evaluate whether your invention meets the criteria for novelty, inventive step, and industrial application.
Structure the invention disclosure and coordinate with patent agents for specification drafting.
File the patent application and manage prosecution, including responding to examination reports.
Advise on patent portfolio strategy, licensing opportunities, and integration with your broader IP approach.
Protect the original work that powers your business — from code to content.
Copyright protects original works the moment they're created, but registration provides significant advantages — a public ownership record and a presumption of validity in disputes. TSL handles copyright registration across all categories under Indian law, from software to marketing content.
Identify copyrightable elements and confirm registration eligibility.
Prepare and submit application with authorship and ownership documentation.
Handle objections from the Copyright Office through to final registration.
Protect how your product looks — before a competitor copies it.
Industrial design registration protects a product's visual appearance — shape, configuration, pattern, or ornamentation. Registration in India grants exclusive rights for up to 15 years. TSL handles design filings and portfolio management for businesses where product aesthetics drive a competitive advantage.
Review visual elements and assess registrable features.
Prepare representations and descriptions capturing distinctive features.
Submit to the Design Office and follow through to successful grant.
When your rights are violated, act decisively to protect your value.
Registered IP only has value if it's enforced. When infringement occurs — unauthorized trademark use, content copying, or design imitation — businesses need to act quickly. TSL provides strategic enforcement from assessment and cease-and-desist actions through to litigation and settlement.
Evaluate scope, gather evidence, and assess enforcement strength.
Cease-and-desist, negotiation, or immediate legal action as warranted.
Represent in proceedings and pursue settlement, order, or agreement.
