Pharma Law

At Fidus Law Chambers, we represent some of the world’s leading pharmaceutical and healthcare companies, offering legal support across the full lifecycle of their products and services in India. As one of the most trusted pharmaceutical law firms in India, we deliver integrated intellectual property and regulatory solutions tailored to the needs of highly regulated and innovation-driven industries.

Our team of investigators and enforcement specialists works on the ground to identify and intercept counterfeit pharmaceutical products and medical devices. Simultaneously, our trademark lawyers manage brand clearances and implement robust IP protection strategies.

We advise Indian and international clients on securing and enforcing trademarks, copyrights, trade dress, and product packaging. From clearance to registration and enforcement, our IP team offers end-to-end solutions that protect pharmaceutical brands and their market identity.

As experienced pharmaceutical lawyers in India, we understand the nuances of trademark clearance in the highly regulated pharma sector—where names are often derived from therapeutic uses, salts, or active ingredients. Our lawyers help clients navigate regulatory naming constraints, ensuring both compliance and distinctiveness. We have successfully led over 100 litigation matters involving pharmaceutical trademarks, trade dress, and product packaging. Our litigation efforts also extend to disputes involving online misuse of pharmaceutical brands, including unauthorised sale by e-pharmacies and domain name abuse by squatters.

As a full-service IP firm, our patent attorneys — who are also qualified lawyers — carry out detailed patent searches, offer freedom-to-operate (FTO) opinions, and draft and prosecute pharmaceutical and life sciences patent applications. We assist clients with regulatory compliance requirements such as filing Form 27 for working of patents, and we litigate extensively on issues related to patent infringement, validity, and enforcement. Our firm has a strong reputation for handling high-stakes litigation relating to Standard Essential Patents (SEPs) and FRAND (Fair, Reasonable and Non-Discriminatory) licensing terms.

Our Customs team plays a critical role in preventing the cross-border movement of counterfeit pharmaceutical products. We work closely with Indian Customs as well as authorities in neighbouring jurisdictions such as Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. Our Partners are frequently invited to train Customs and Law Enforcement officials on identifying and seizing counterfeit medicines and medical goods.

Fidus Law Chambers is also one of the few healthcare law firms in India that offers specialized legal advisory on pharmaceutical advertising, marketing regulations, and compliance with the Drugs and Cosmetics Act and Rules. Our attorneys initiate and coordinate criminal enforcement actions for spurious or adulterated drug cases, and provide strategic guidance on marketing practices, labeling, and promotional material review for both pharmaceuticals and cosmetics.

We regularly advise on regulatory issues involving promotional claims, sample distribution, cross-border marketing, and advertising restrictions in India.

As trusted healthcare and pharmaceutical lawyers in India, we are deeply familiar with both domestic frameworks and international best practices, making us a preferred legal partner for multinational healthcare and pharma entities.

Whether it’s protecting a new drug formulation, combating counterfeits, clearing a new brand name, or ensuring compliance with advertising norms, our clients rely on us for clear, commercial, and compliant legal strategies. As one of the leading pharmaceutical and healthcare law firms in India, we remain committed to safeguarding innovation and ensuring that our clients thrive in a challenging and competitive regulatory environment.
