New Delhi-based intellectual property boutique Sujata Chaudhri IP Attorneys has been in operation since 2014. The firm provides services for all contentious IP matters, be it prosecution, litigation or enforcement. Its clients span multiple sectors, such as fashion, fast-moving consumer goods, luxury and pharmaceuticals, among others. The team has a steady success record of handling infringement, passing off, and counterfeit disputes before several district courts and the Delhi High Court, in addition to handling domain name disputes and other enforcement-related matters. The firm recently started its patent practice, with 25 lawyers and patent agents focused on this side of IP.
Managing partner Sujata Chaudhri is the main contact at the firm. She she is supported by partners Urfee Roomi and Deeksha Anand. The team welcomed its new head of patents, Pradeep Kumar Bhupatiraju, from Altacit Legal last summer.
In one notable matter, the firm acted for blockchain initiative Centre Consortium before the Delhi High Court, where the client sought to cancel a trademark registration owned by the respondent. This case is significant because it is the first decision on the issue of jurisdiction of a High Court in cancellation actions under the Trade Marks Act. It is bound to have an impact in times to come because it has paved the way for cancellation petitioners to obtain relief conveniently without having to file the cancellation actions either at the Trade Marks Registry or the High Court, within whose jurisdiction the relevant office of the Trade Marks Registry is situated.
