Lex Protector: Offering Undisputed IP Services Date:   Sunday , November 23, 2014 It was an Eureka moment for Aurobinda Panda when he got introduced to the world of Intellectual Property services while studying law. The idea to start a company and make it big in the space trolled over him for around four years. The raw idea got a healthy incubation with the support of two enterprising classmates Atul Patel and Bhaskar Jyoti Mukherjee. While Atul played more of a critics to his ideas, Bhaskar helped him modify and reconstruct the same and push it towards perfection. And finally on one fine day in 2012, Aurobinda and Bhaskar decided to make this long loved concept a reality by incepting Lex Protector with the aim to find a place for the company in the map of Global IP industry. The objective wouldn\'t have been attained if it was not for Aurojeet Panda, who considered investing his precious resources in our firm to carve our dream into a reality. The Superiority & Dexterity \"The Global IP industry is a huge platform lending enormous space for every enterprise, irrespective of its size, to become the shining stars. We are just two-year old and we have surpassed only a few milestones yet,\" says Aurobinda Panda, Co-Founder & CEO, Lex Protector. The undisputed quality of services the company provides have garnered them various clients from, U.S.,UK, Australia, Spain and others within just a couple of year of inception. One of Lex\'s client J.A. Mendizabal, VINCI, says, \"A fine team of associates pooling their resources to meet a client\'s need. That\'s how I can best describe Lex Protector. The firm\'s expertise in Trademark Law is unmatchable and there\'s not an iota of doubt about that\". This is just one of the testaments the startup\'s success among several others written to the company for the incredible support it provided to the clients. Given the wide nature of its services, Lex not just receives colossal challenge from Indian firms but also from firms outside the country. But what sets them apart from other similar providers are their diverse nature of services. \"One of our unique services runs under the head of Trademark Watch where we help safeguard goodwill of our clients by identifying potential infringers by keeping watch over the trademark for any potential infringement,\" says Siddharth Mathur, a Senior Legal Associate of the firm. Lex\'s services know no boundaries and serve clients in different jurisdictions across the globe. The Continuous Clocking Quandary \"I started the firm on my own while I was still studying law. It was imperative for me to pass through the initial phase before I graduate because I knew it\'s a time taking process. I had to manage the firm while I was managing my semesters also,\" explains Aurobinda. However, the most arduous task was understanding the Intellectual Property law scenario of foreign lands. Lex Protector is always open to learn IP law in perspective of different jurisdictions from different sources, mostly experts of the field in the particular region which is helping Lex Protector become a \'Multi-Jurisdictional Service Provider\' and stand tall among the competition who majorly focus on serving big names of the industry. While such law firms\' interest lies in strengthening their bottom line and make their profile look heavy, the startups is left behind as underserved. Lex Protector focuses on such startups who need helping hands and assist them in expanding their territories. In regards to this, the company provides several services like Business Name Search, Trademark Search, Domain Watch and others based on their requirements. As Lex Protector specializes in the discipline of IP as a whole, these startups don\'t need to look elsewhere to incorporate a commercial entity. While other IP service providers charges hefty, Lex has divided its services into parts which enables a client to pay only for what he wants. For instance, under DMCA head, it has both Do-It-Yourself and Expert Assistance services to help remove infringing content from the web. The client has the luxury to select services depending upon his need while the outcome intended is the same. Though the company has overcome the challenge of learning overseas IP law, there is a new challenge that it has to defeat - the challenge to find the best fit personnel who can handle their work and disseminate their learnings to others as well. Lex Protector follows a \'learning by doing\' sort of work culture wherein it encourages the new joinees to express their opinions freely while the role of seniors are confined to that of a mentor. The Road Ahead Lex Protector envisions expanding in such a way that the whole influence of geographical limitations is annihilated and the only thing a person living anywhere in the world thinks about is the services provided by Lex Protector. \"We must optimize our services with the requirements of this discipline and only then we will be able to achieve our goal of running a successful Global IP Venture,\" concludes Aurobinda.
