Enforcement & Anti-Counterfeiting Law

As counterfeiters adopt ever more sophisticated means to evade detection and prosecution, and counterfeiting profit trails are traced to more sinister operations having corrosive effects on the economy and security, close coordination between practitioners and within the client organisation itself is essential to combating piracy and protecting intellectual property rights.

CIVIL AND CRIMINAL IP ENFORCEMENT IN INDIA

Injunctions against sale, manufacture and misrepresentation, and orders directing rendition of the infringers’ accounts and preservation of information are most effective when accompanied with enforcement of a favourable court order. Right owners have the option to choose between civil suits and criminal proceedings, whichever is strategically better suited to a set of facts or circumstances. Civil remedies are swift, effective and lasting in effect. Criminal remedies take relatively longer and generally have nil returns in damages or costs but can have a chilling effect on the counterfeit trade.
