Trace Law Partners advises Indian and multinational clients on IP rights management, protection, enforcement, and commercialisation across all sectors.

Our transactional IP practice covers the structuring, negotiation, and execution of licensing arrangements, technology transfers, IP assignments, joint ventures, and co-development agreements. We regularly advise on IP-heavy commercial arrangements including SaaS agreements, content deals, franchise arrangements, and R&D collaborations. We have conducted IP due diligences in connection with acquisitions, investments, and business transfers.

We have deep expertise in IP issues arising from emerging technologies, particularly generative AI. Our work in this space includes advising on ownership and authorship questions in AI-generated content, copyright infringement risk in AI training and deployment, and pre-litigation strategy for AI developers and businesses deploying AI tools.

On enforcement, we advise on cease-and-desist strategy, online piracy and takedowns, domain name disputes, and infringement litigation across copyright, trademark, and patent. We also advise on patent prosecution, freedom-to-operate analysis, and portfolio strategy, and have registered patent agents on our team.
