Lex Readers LLP is pleased to launch a dedicated Intellectual Property practice, extending our full-service legal capability beyond litigation and immigration into the protection, management, and enforcement of our clients' valuable intangible assets. From prosecution to enforcement, and protecting IP portfolio globally, our team partners with businesses and individuals at every stage of the IP lifecycle.
An idea, a brand, an invention, or a creative work is often a business's most valuable asset. Our Intellectual Property practice is built to help clients identify, protect, commercialise, and protect these IP assets, whether they are filing their first trademark or managing a global patent portfolio. Because IP rights are only as valuable as the strategy behind them, we work closely with founders, in-house teams, and creative professionals to build protection strategies that align with the business goals of each client.
We assist innovators, engineers, and research-driven businesses in protecting their inventions and technical know-how, from initial disclosure through grant and beyond.
Brand identity is often the first thing clients ask us to protect, and our trademark practice is built to move quickly without cutting corners.
From software and literary works to films, music, and visual art, we help creators and businesses secure and enforce copyright protection.
We support producer groups, associations, and businesses seeking to protect products tied to a specific region's reputation, quality, or characteristics.
Where the value of a product lies in its visual appeal and shape, our design practice helps clients secure and protect that investment.
Protecting an IP right is only part of the picture. We also help clients extract value from their IP assets and manage them as part of a broader business strategy.
A significant part of our Intellectual Property practice is dedicated to micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) and startups, businesses for whom intellectual property is often the most valuable, and most overlooked, asset on the balance sheet. We understand that early-stage businesses and MSMEs operate with limited budgets, fast-moving priorities, and founders wearing multiple hats.
Whether a client is registering a first trademark for a new venture or preparing an IP portfolio ahead of a funding round, our goal is the same, to make intellectual property an asset that supports growth, rather than a compliance burden that slows it down.
Intellectual property rights are territorial, but businesses are increasingly global. With our presence across India and the United Kingdom, and a coordinated network of associates abroad, we help clients protect and enforce their IP rights across multiple jurisdictions through a single point of contact.
India, China, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Australia, and Hong Kong
United Kingdom, European Union (via the EUIPO), Germany, France, Switzerland, and the Netherlands
United States, Canada, and Brazil
United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, and Nigeria
This international coordination allows clients to manage a single brand, invention, or design as part of one coherent global strategy, while we handle the local procedural and regulatory nuances of each jurisdiction.
Prosecution and litigation handled by one coordinated team, avoiding the gaps that arise from working with separate filing and litigation counsel.
Practical recommendations grounded in commercial priorities, not protection for its own sake.
Clear fee structures, particularly valued by MSME and startup clients.
A single point of contact for multi-jurisdiction filings and enforcement.
The same values of trust, integrity, and clarity that define our litigation and immigration practices.
Whether you are protecting a single brand or building a global IP portfolio, our team is ready to help you take the next step. Reach out to us to schedule a consultation with our Intellectual Property team.
