Recognition and/or financial benefit are mostly the main agendas for protecting one’s effort.

Lawyers For Patent Rights 

A patent is a legal document that is granted by the government to the inventor for a limited period for the invention that he/she has created. Such protection confers exclusive monopoly rights to the patent holder to exploit by making, selling and using the invention and deriving the maximum benefit out of it.

Any person who is a true and first inventor or his assignee or his legal representative can apply for patents. Starting with the filling of the application, the Patent search is the first step that needs to be covered when looking for the grant of a patent.  There are some top patent research companies in Chandigarh who are dealing in such matters. Once a thorough search has been complied with, then comes the preparing the patent specification, which again requires highly skilled techno-legal language.

A team of experienced lawyers for Patent in Chandigarh are well versed with the importance of patent specifications and thereafter filling of the Patent well in time. The priority date is the essence of Patent filing because if the Patent claim is publicly available before the priority date is taken in, then the question of whether to grant patent protection or not becomes imperative. Delay of any kind in securing the priority date can risk the information into the public domain and adversely affect the possibility of the patent grant.

Lawyers For Trademark Registration In Chandigarh

Trademark is any symbol, word, name, logo, design or any combination of these that provides exclusive rights to the owner with respect to that mark. Having a good Trademark helps in identifying the product or the service of one entity from that of another and helps the consumer identify the source of the product or the service. Trademark is a valuable asset for businesses (start-ups/established) as it represents the brand value and hence it is very important to have a comprehensive trademark search.

At B&B Associates, we understand the importance of having strong trademark protection for both trademark owners and the consumers and therefore, the team of professional trademark registration lawyers in Chandigarh is always ready to uphold the laws that would ensure the proper protection of trademarks.
