Anand and Anand

Overview

Anand and Anand is a full-service intellectual property law firm specializing in comprehensive IP solutions, including protection, enforcement, advisory, licensing, and litigation across patents, trademarks, copyrights, and more. Renowned for its litigation expertise, the firm boasts a patent grant rate exceeding 93% and has successfully handled over 1,800 trademark oppositions recently.

The firm has achieved significant milestones in IP prosecution and enforcement. Notable cases include the landmark Vifor International v. MSN Labs, which established India’s first judgement on product-by-process patents, and Nokia v. Oppo, which involved the country’s first pro tem security order. The firm also secured personality and publicity rights for Bollywood actors Anil Kapoor and Jackie Shroff against misuse related to generative AI.

Other high-profile cases include the resolution of a 35-year trademark dispute over the name "Toshiba," affirming the Japanese company as the rightful owner, and the reversal of a decision by the Indian Patent Office favoring Blackberry’s auto-selection media file technology. The firm has also supported a unique collaboration between Amazon and Microsoft regarding global tech fraud issues, leading to Operation Chakra.

To address emerging technological challenges, Anand and Anand has launched a Digital Group focusing on AI, data protection, gaming, and blockchain-related matters. This group recently addressed privacy violations involving dark patterns and AI.

Beyond legal services, the firm actively promotes IP education through initiatives like the N K Anand Indian Science Competition, fostering interest in STEM among youth. With a commitment to innovation and education, Anand and Anand consistently ranks among the top IP firms in India.
