Swarup Kumar to Lead New IP Law Firm Kumar & Sardana Associates after Departing Remfry & Sagar
Swarup Kumar has quit his equity partnership at IP specialists Remfry & Sagar to establish his own boutique law firm Kumar & Sardana Associates in Gurugram. Kumar, an IP solicitor with over 20 years of experience, will serve as the new firm's sole managing partner.
Advocates Anurag Raghav and Ruchi Sardana, with experience in civil litigation and IP, will be joining the core team. The firm is currently in the process of recruiting IP solicitors, technical assistants, and paralegals.
Kumar stated that Kumar & Sardana Associates has been established as a boutique intellectual property and technology law firm that focuses on providing personalised, high-quality, and business-friendly techno-legal advice to clients.
Kumar has said that the team at Kumar & Sardana Associates understands the unique needs of each client and recognises that a one-size-fits-all approach is not appropriate. According to him, they aim to provide specialised, outcome-driven, and cost-effective IP, technology, and legal services, rather than the standardised and commonplace IP services that are prevalent in the industry.
The firm's areas of expertise comprise the preparation of patent specifications, submissions, and prosecution for all technology sectors, the implementation of patents, renewals, and other related services.
Additionally, it will offer guidance on IP matters such as the patentability and eligibility of inventions, freedom to operate, the assignment and licensing of inventions, searches, oppositions, revocations, and patent litigation.
“With Kumar & Sardana Associates’ core team in place, I will be happy to invite like-minded and motivated patent, design and trademark professionals and colleagues to come on board as we go along. In fact, as we speak, our website is getting updated and we shall reach out to the world shortly,” Kumar said.
Kumar was elected as the deputy secretary general of the International Federation of Intellectual Property Attorneys (FICPI - Fédération Internationale des Conseils en Propriété Intellectuelle) for three years in October 2022. He is the first Indian IP solicitor to join the FICPI Bureau since its establishment in 1906. The FICPI, headquartered in Switzerland, boasts over 5,000 members in nearly 80 jurisdictions.
The core team of Kumar & Sardana Associates possesses a combined experience of over 40 years in the fields of IP and civil litigation. The firm's objective is to foster a constructive, transparent, and collaborative work environment that upholds diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility for all its members.
