We are happy to announce that the Firm has been recognised as a Top Tier practice once again for ‘Trademarks’ in the WTR (World Trademark Review) 1000 Rankings 2021. Here is what the rankings say about us:

“A team of over 40 attorneys “delivers more than clients ask for”, handling about 15% of all inbound work in India and across the Indian sub-continent. Serving a largely foreign clientele, including Fortune 500 companies, its “thorough professionalism and in-depth subject expertise” impresses foreign associates, as do its commitment to upholding “high ethical standards”. Those who have entrusted Remfry & Sagar with work describe their experience as “enjoyable, as they provide timely responses and quality work that addresses our specific requests. This sets them apart from many other firms”. The outfit’s reputation for “consistent reliability, in-depth knowledge and business savviness” has earned it the trust of the Indian government, which enlists the side’s help to encourage start-ups and innovation, and to help form IP policy.

Recently, it obtained a record $716,000 in punitive damages for Nippon Steel & Sumitomo Metal Corporation against an infringer in a case in which the Bombay High Court decided to make an example out of the defendant to discourage such activities in the future. Remfry & Sagar also runs a robust corporate practice that is a firm favourite with clients.”

“’Highly capable’ Ashwin Julka (Managing Partner) ‘successfully runs one of the oldest and largest IP firms in the country’ with over two decades of experience, making him an excellent choice for companies seeking bulletproof IP strategies.” The rankings recognise him in the Gold Tier for ‘Trademark Prosecution & Strategy’ with Samta Mehra, Partner, placed in the Silver Tier. Devika Mehra, Partner, for whom clients are quoted as saying, “makes a point of ‘immediately confirming safe receipt of emails and providing prompt responses. When we as a client revise drafts and comments, we appreciate that she and her team take them into careful consideration'” is placed in the Bronze Tier.

Partner C. A. Brijesh is praised for his “high degree of business ethics” and said to “attract(s) those looking for an attorney who ‘understands our product and is reliable in every aspect'”. Both him and Gaurav Mukerjee, Partner, receive Bronze rankings for ‘Trademark Enforcement & Litigation’.
