Choose your IP & see what is protected

Copyright Infringement – creative works

  • Protects: articles, photos, videos, music, software and other original expressions.
  • Occurs when: there is substantial similarity + copying or unauthorised distribution.
  • Typical acts: piracy, reposting content, cloning code or UI without licence.
  • First moves: platform takedown, cease-and-desist, then civil/criminal proceedings.
  • Remedies: injunctions, damages, delivery up of infringing copies and profits.
  • Registration: not mandatory, but registration strongly strengthens evidence.

Patent Infringement – inventions & technology

  • Protects: inventions as defined in the patent claims.
  • Occurs when: all essential elements of a claim appear in the accused product or process.
  • Typical acts: making, using, selling or importing patented technology without licence.
  • First moves: claim chart analysis → legal notice → civil suit for injunction & damages.
  • Remedies: injunctions, account of profits, damages and sometimes border measures.
  • Registration: mandatory – no patent, no patent infringement case.

Trademark Infringement / Passing Off – brands & logos

  • Protects: logos, names, taglines, trade dress and overall brand identity.
  • Occurs when: similar marks cause consumer confusion or ride on your goodwill.
  • Typical acts: counterfeits, copycat packaging, domain/handle squatting, deceptive ads.
  • First moves: takedowns on marketplaces/social media, notice, then civil and/or criminal action.
  • Remedies: injunction, damages, destruction of infringing goods and police action in strong cases.
  • Registration: not compulsory, but registration makes enforcement much easier.

Design Infringement – shape & appearance

  • Protects: visual appearance/shape/pattern/ornamentation of articles.
  • Occurs when: the imitation produces the same overall visual impression on a consumer.
  • Typical acts: look-alike products, copied packaging or product shells.
  • First moves: cease-and-desist, customs alert (where relevant), civil action for piracy of design.
  • Remedies: injunction, destruction of moulds/tools, damages and delivery up of infringing stock.
  • Registration: mandatory – you need a registered design to sue for design infringement.

    IP Infringement Case Journey with NoLegalPaisa

    Step 1 – Detection & Evidence Collection

    • We map whether the issue is copyright, trademark, patent, design or trade secret.
    • You collect screenshots, product samples, links, invoices and internal documents.
    • We quickly assess urgency (e.g. live campaigns, sale events, export shipments).

    Step 2 – Strategy, Jurisdiction & Platforms

    • We choose the right route: online takedown, civil suit, criminal complaint, or a mix.
    • Jurisdiction options:
      • Civil Courts with IP jurisdiction in your city or where infringement occurs.
      • Specialised IP courts in metros for faster decisions.
      • ADR – mediation/arbitration where contracts allow quick settlement.

    Step 3 – Cease-and-Desist Notice & Negotiation

    • We draft a strong cease-and-desist / legal notice customised to your IP right.

    • We negotiate undertakings, product withdrawal, royalty or settlement where feasible.

    Step 4 – Filing the Infringement Case

    • Civil suit for injunction, damages and delivery up of infringing goods/content.
    • In serious trademark/copyright cases – criminal complaint with police where appropriate.
    • Where to file:
      • Civil Courts with IP jurisdiction (District / Commercial Courts / High Courts).
      • Special IP benches or designated commercial courts in major metros.
    • We handle case drafting, filing, court appearances and regular status updates.

    Step 5 – Hearings, Interim Relief & Final Order

    • We push for interim injunctions to stop use while the case runs.
    • Evidence, expert reports and cross-examination where required.
    • Final order: injunction, damages, destruction of goods/tools, costs and other directions.

    Step 6 – Enforcement & Post-Resolution Monitoring
