In India, customs law plays a crucial role in preventing the importation of goods that infringe intellectual property rights. With over 600 sea ports and inland ports, border measures are an essential aspect of intellectual property policing and enforcement for rights owners facing counterfeiting or large-scale infringement issues.
At Ashwathh Legal, our team possesses expertise in managing the full lifecycle of customs actions, ensuring comprehensive protection of your IP rights at the borders. We recognize the critical importance of robust border protection measures in safeguarding clients’ intellectual property rights and combating the influx of counterfeit and infringing goods. This is why our specialized Customs practice forms an integral part of our comprehensive IP services offering.
Our team works in close synergy with our IP investigation experts and enforcement attorneys to devise and implement tailor-made border protection strategies aligned with each client’s product portfolio and risk profile. Leveraging extensive experience collaborating with customs authorities across jurisdictions, we skilfully navigate the nuances of customs recordal processes to register trademarks, designs,
patents, and copyrights.
Once the requisite IP rights are recorded with customs, our team continually monitors databases to track suspect shipments. We gather intelligence, coordinate product identification exercises with field operatives, and coordinate enforcement actions to affect seizures of illicit goods. A key aspect is training customs officials to identify genuine products and detect counterfeiting markers during inspections.
