About NISHANT & Co.

Adv. Nishant leads Nishant & Co. with a clear mandate: make IP protection simple, swift, and commercially useful. He counsels founders, MSMEs, and enterprises on brand strategy, trademark clearance and prosecution, oppositions/rectifications, copyright protection, design registration, patent filing coordination, licensing, and anti-counterfeiting.

Over the years, Nishant has built a process-driven practice that emphasizes search-led filings, strong evidence in objections/oppositions, and decisive enforcement—so clients see fewer surprises and faster resolutions. He regularly appears before the Trade Marks Registry and coordinates litigation with counsel before the IP Divisions of High Courts and Commercial Courts. He also advises on cross-border filings, Madrid Protocol strategy, and portfolio management for growing brands.

Beyond client work, Nishant conducts practical training on filing IP in India and frequently speaks on trademark best practices, brand enforcement, and online infringement.
