Founded in 2004, Aswal Associates has grown into one of India's most respected intellectual property law firms, combining deep technical expertise with strategic global reach to protect innovation across borders.
Founded in 2004, Aswal Associates has established itself as a leading intellectual property law firm in India's capital, New Delhi. Our practice spans the full spectrum of IP rights — from patent prosecution and trademark registration to complex IP litigation and cross-border licensing.
We serve clients ranging from individual inventors and startups to multinational corporations across diverse sectors including pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, information technology, telecommunications, and manufacturing. Our international reach extends through strategic partnerships with leading IP firms in South East Asia, ASEAN nations, the United States, and Europe.
Over more than two decades, we have built a reputation for technical precision, strategic clarity, and a client-first approach that has earned us recognition in the IAM Strategy 300 — a global guide to the world's leading IP strategists.
Our team includes attorneys with advanced degrees in engineering, life sciences, and chemistry, enabling deep understanding of complex innovations across pharmaceutical, biotech, mechanical and software domains. We draft claims that stand up in prosecution and litigation.
Seamless IP protection across India, ASEAN (Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines), USA, China, and Europe through our trusted associate network. One firm, one coordinated strategy, every jurisdiction.
Beyond filings, we provide portfolio management, freedom-to-operate analyses, due diligence for M&A, and IP monetization strategies tailored to your commercial objectives. IP is a business asset — we help you leverage it.
Every client relationship is built on transparency, responsiveness, and trust. We tailor our approach to each client's unique circumstances, from a solo inventor to a Fortune 500 company. Our team responds within 24 business hours.
We provide honest, objective advice — even when it means telling a client their idea cannot be protected. Trust is the foundation of every mandate we accept.
Every patent claim, every trademark filing, every licensing clause matters. We apply rigorous attention to detail so our clients' rights are robust and enforceable.
IP protection must be strategically designed for the markets that matter. We think internationally from day one, coordinating filings across jurisdictions with a unified strategy.
