Enforcement
Enforcement of intellectual property rights is crucial for any business or creator to maintain control over their trademarks, patents, copyrights, and designs. Merely registering your IP does not stop unauthorized use — you must actively protect it. Effective enforcement involves monitoring the market for infringements, sending cease-and-desist notices, taking legal action, working with authorities to seize counterfeit goods, and even coordinating with customs to block illegal imports and exports. At Mark Shell & Associates, we help our clients tackle counterfeiting, trademark misuse, parallel imports, and online IP theft. With practical strategies and legal expertise, we craft solutions that secure your rights and defend your reputation in India’s dynamic market.
