Service Overview
Intellectual property is extremely important in today’s economy. Intellectual property, as a broad phrase, refers to commercially valuable uses of unique ideas and information. The IPR framework in India is well developed from a legal, judicial, and administrative position. Intellectual property rules affect every business in some manner and are especially relevant to companies involved in activities such as artistic, literary, musical, technical, or scientific endeavours.

Service Highlights
Trademark Protection
One of the most crucial elements of corporate success is developing and protecting a brand. Spiritus Legal helps clients in registration of trade marks, design rights, and domain names in Ind and other jurisdictions. We provide guidance on the best application format and chances of success. We also offer guidance on how to protect existing rights and prevent infringing on the rights of others.
Copyright
Copyright is one of the most prevalent types of intellectual property. It guards against the creations of the copyright holder being copied or used without permission. Copyright materials obtained from the internet are frequently used without authorization. We offer guidance on all aspects of copyright law and help copyright owners protect their precious rights from infringement.
Transactional Work
Corporate transactions involving the sale, acquisition, or franchising of a firm will nearly always include dealing with the business’s intellectual property rights. As part of the due diligence process, we assist in the identification and validation of any such intellectual property, and after the transaction is complete, we ensure that the relevant rights have been properly transferred by the contractual instruments. For companies, we provide IP audits.
Software And IT
We represent mobile application developers, distributors, producers of software support services and end users licencing. We provide guidance on a wide range of IT contracts, including custom software development agreements, software licencing and maintenance agreements, software as a service (SaaS) conditions, and escrow arrangements. If something goes wrong, we can assist you in dealing with the problem in the most practical and cost-effective way possible.
