Your IP is your most valuable asset.
Protect it with technical and legal precision.
IP law without technical understanding protects the description, not the invention.
SIRI Law LLP's IP and technology practice combines legal expertise with in-house technical capability — our patent advisers understand the technology they are protecting, and our litigation team deploys technical expert witnesses to defend your IP in court.
Overview
Protecting Innovation in the Age of AI
Intellectual property law is being rapidly reshaped by technology. Who owns AI-generated code? Can a trained ML model be protected as a trade secret? These questions require counsel with both traditional IP grounding and genuine technology literacy.
SIRI Law LLP’s IP practice covers the full spectrum — patent prosecution, trademark registration, copyright advisory, and trade secret protection — alongside emerging AI-IP issues.
AI & Emerging Tech IP
The New IP Frontier
We advise on AI-generated IP ownership, copyright implications of training data use, model licensing frameworks, and open-source compliance.
We also advise on semiconductor design rights, database protection under Indian copyright law, and algorithmic trade secrets.
of IP disputes in India involve inadequate documentation — losses that a proper filing strategy would have prevented
Intellectual property is only as strong as the legal infrastructure protecting it.
Weak patent filing strategy loses priority
Filing without a comprehensive prior art search results in claims too narrow to provide commercial protection — or invalidated by undiscovered prior art at the point of enforcement.
Trademark neglect creates brand liability
Operating without registered trademarks leaves your brand exposed to squatting, infringement, and costly disputes that registered rights would have prevented entirely.
Software IP unprotected by default
Software copyright, trade secrets, and proprietary algorithms are legally protected only if properly documented, attributed, and contractually secured through employment agreements and contractor NDAs.
Technology contracts leave IP ownership ambiguous
Standard employment and contractor agreements frequently fail to clearly assign IP created during engagement — leaving companies without legal ownership of work their own team built.

Case Study · Software IP Dispute
SaaS company recovers proprietary algorithm after
contractor misappropriation.
A Hyderabad SaaS company discovered a former contractor had incorporated their proprietary ML algorithm into a competing product. SIRI Law LLP's technical team confirmed algorithmic similarity through reverse engineering analysis, while our legal team simultaneously filed for an Anton Piller order, secured the evidence, and initiated trade secret misappropriation proceedings. The dispute resolved within 45 days with the competitor ceasing use and paying compensation.
The SIRI Difference
Without SIRI vs. With SIRI.
Standard IP law firm
Legal specification without technical review
Patent specifications drafted by lawyers who may not fully understand the underlying technology — resulting in claims that are too narrow or easily designed around
No enforcement capability
IP registered but no in-house capacity to monitor for infringement, conduct technical similarity analysis, or provide expert witness support in enforcement proceedings
Separate litigation engagement required
If infringement occurs, a separate litigation firm must be engaged — losing coordination between the IP registration record and the enforcement strategy
No trade secret programme
Focus on registered rights only — leaving trade secrets, algorithms, and confidential technical information without contractual protection
SIRI Law LLP — Legal + Technical
Technical review of every specification
Our IP advisers have engineering backgrounds — producing claims that are broad, accurate, and defensible against challenge at every stage
In-house infringement monitoring
Our technical team monitors for infringement — reverse engineering suspected copies, conducting similarity analysis, and providing evidence needed for enforcement
Integrated registration and enforcement
The same team manages your IP registration and your enforcement — no coordination gap between the protection strategy and the litigation approach
Comprehensive trade secret programme
Employment agreements, contractor NDAs, internal classification policies, and technical documentation protocols that provide defensible trade secret protection alongside registered rights
