We avoid lawyers predominantly due to the belief that their clock starts ticking the minute we step into their office, which is further exacerbated by their lack of transparency. Ediplis Counsels, a new-age law firm, is breaking these shackles tying traditional law firms by bestowing its clients with the quality they deserve without the ‘hourly bill’ concept or typical bills like preliminary advice charge. Further, what helps its clients to relate to Ediplis faster and rely on it completely is its great transparency and its vision of making law simple and business friendly..

Pragmatic Present Day Solutions
Vis-à-vis other IP firms that lack expertise at some point, this company founded by IP connoisseurs with over a decade of experience, stands tall by hand holding its clients end-to-end. Growing at a whopping 400 percent rate for the past three years, Ediplis, in addition to the traditional IP protection services, provides a gamut of new-age services including IP mining (helping businesses identify potential IP), Private Equity support (help negotiate the right investment terms), open source consultancy (analysing reports to suggest pitfalls in using specific open source components and

recommending alternatives),landscape research (recommending less crowded technology domains to focus on) and competitor watch (tagging certain patents of competitors) to name a few – utilizing cutting-edge processes adopted in western world that are yet to see IP players with real experience in India.

With strong opposition & policing strategy, and by keeping constant watch on third party trademarks that are similar to its clients’ trademarks, Ediplis successfully manages litigations in all major cities of India, which makes it commendable

Every member of Ediplis team has a technology background as well, which empowers it to bring out the maximum possible scope while drafting realistic patent deliverables for a broad bandwidth of clientele comprised of major players in automobile, renewable energy, AI & machine learning, locomotive technology sectors, who entrust Ediplis with their IPs. It also helps protect the IP of early stage startups that are unable to afford high-end services and allows them to push the payment process until they generate enough revenue, besides offering preferential rates. Ediplis’ techno-legal prowess not only helps it to understand inventor’s vocabulary, but also facilitates it to setup excellent IP culture, policies, processes and other legal
documentations in client’s company.

“We effectively harnesses elaborate, cutting-edge proprietary databases to carry out very specialized IP evaluations, monetization & licensing, freedom to operate and infringement analysis, which enables us to negotiate right value, prevent infringements and mitigate risks to the maximum possible extent,”remarks NishantKewalramani, Founding Partner, Ediplis Counsels. Its IP evaluation service once facilitated a prestigious educational institution to attaina royalty rate which was 3.5 percent more than what they were initially offered by a Fortune 100 company.

With strong opposition & policing strategy, and by keeping constant watch on third party trademarks that are similar to its clients’ trademarks, Ediplis successfully manages litigations in all major cities of India, which makes it commendable. The company invests hefty monies to prevent both localized (strict NDA, access control & CCTV) and online breaches (encryptions & firewalls). Ediplis’ close-knit team thrives in a friendly atmosphere and undergoes bi-annual team building & leadership workshops and engages in social activities, which not only keeps the morale up, but has also helped it to achieve an almost zero attrition rate.

New Heights to Conquer
Ediplis is partnering in development of an intelligent IP watch system that provides much deeper insights (help recognize infringements) beyond merely tracking the current status of client’s IP applications & deadlines. Already catering to U.S.-based clients and filing IP in U.S. & EU for Indian clients, this Bangalore-based company with another office in Mumbai plans to open its office in U.S and EU in the near future.
