Firm Overview:

LexOrbis was started in 1997 when the Indian IP laws were being aligned with the international IP laws and systems, particularly after the signing of the TRIPS Agreement and PCT Convention. The firm was formed with the vision to provide highly specialised end-to-end services for all forms of IP laws to global companies entering India post opening of the Indian economy and to bring awareness and assist domestic companies, research institutions and universities in developing their IP portfolio. The firm’s primary focus was to introduce IP laws to engineers and scientists from reputed Indian institutes and universities. The firm was a pioneer in hiring fresh B. Tech/M. Tech/M Sc and PhD scholars to train and shape them as leading patent professionals. Most engineers and scientists onboarded by the firm are now dual-qualified as lawyers and are well-known names in the industry.

Currently, LexOrbis is rated as a top firm in IP practice, with a strength of over 260 personnel, including 150 attorneys at its four offices in India, namely, New Delhi, Bangalore, Mumbai and Chennai.
