It is an excellent firm with a full-service trademark-related practice.

Recently, he assisted the Japanese electronics manufacturer Roland Corporation with strategic portfolio streamlining, and mobility and electric vehicle company Bolt Technology with mark enforcement across Southeast Asia, securing an injunction against an infringing third party. Making their debut in the WTR 1000 this year, Mehak Dhingra is the weapon of choice for Fortune 500 brands seeking comprehensive litigious and non-contentious assistance. She excels especially in developing and managing trademark portfolios and representing her clients in contentious proceedings — often to amicable resolution.
