siliconindia | | August 20174Two Indian engineers Gurindar Sohi and Terani Vijay-kumar were the lucky inventors (among the group of four) who won a whooping Rs.5,600 crore against Ap-ple for using their patent technology in the processors of their devices without their permission. Now this is GAME! Patent can really change the way you look at your inventions and even help you grow more money, if used wisely. But there is no doubt that the patent and trademark landscape in India has always been in mayhem. Most of the inventions especially done by the small and medium enterprises and the startups go un-patented due to ignorance that still prevails widely within the industry. Lack of proper guidance and assistance by law firms is also among the paramount reasons for the failure. While mentors focus on supervising startups and SMEs in creating innovation, many of them tend to ignore or lack the knowledge about the importance of patenting and trademarking these innovations which could change the organization's path to all green. But with time, the scenario has changed; thanks to the emerging patent and trademark (P&T) firms that are going above and beyond their general functioning to help startups, SMEs and even MNCs to garner maximum benefit from their innovation by patenting them.These new breed of P&T experts will dynamically change the way India views its innovation. Rather in the coming days (which is not very soon), the country will become one of the most patent filing countries as innovation here is a task of every day. With increasing number of startups and SMEs realizing its value, the industry will uproar soon. And the list that we have created here, `10 Most Promising Patent & Trademark Law Service Providers ­ 2017' will be your end of the checklist for any P&T related assistance.
