Naren Thappeta, Founder& CEO
From nano-level water purification to non-invasive heart condition detector, there is no dearth of innovation and keen minds in India bearing a huge potential for growth. However, conjoined with this success story is the lack of protection of these innovations, which leaves it much to vulnerability. Despite of the recent Indian Patent Act, India ranks lowest in world ranking compilation by the U.S Chamber International Index, indicating a serious need of necessitating patent protection for organisational assets. Helping companies secure their intellectual properties is Bangalore-based IPhorizons, which adeptly handles the most complex cases by offering competent patent law services based on precise understanding of the underlying technology /science, relevance to markets and adherence to legal principles.
Founded by Naren Thappeta, a registered patent agent in the U.S. and India, an Advocate in India, and Attorney with the bar council of District of Columbia (DC), U.S, IPhorizons is unique in being a patent-centric organization. Moreover, his practice at the US Patent Office and legal precedents there gives the IPhorizons team a clear idea about the Indian laws with grey areas of interpretation. “We have able technologists /scientists with deep subject matter knowledge, and patent agents registered in India. We also have junior engineers to support the leadership,” states Naren who has vast experience in representing startups in both Silicon Valley & India, Fortune 500 companies, solo-inventors, and many others.
