Your IP. Protected.
Everywhere It Matters.
Patent and trademark specialists — fixed fee, no hidden charges, India and 180+ countries, from filing to grant.
Because IP is all we do.
We are not a general law firm that also does IP. We are IP specialists. Full stop.
Registered Practitioners
Santosh Sangle (Mechanical Engineer) and Amar Gite (Computer Engineer) are both registered Patent Agents and Trademark Attorneys — legally authorised to practise before IP India and the Patent Office. Not consultants. Not intermediaries. Registered professionals.
India. USA. Europe. Worldwide.
We file patents and trademarks in India and 180+ countries — Madrid Protocol for trademarks, PCT for patents. One team, one point of contact, no matter where you need protection.
Patent + Trademark. One Roof.
Most firms specialise in either patents or trademarks. We do both — and they work together. Your brand identity and your technical invention, protected under one strategy, by one team.

Patent or trademark — here's why most businesses get it wrong.
Filing IP is not the hard part. Filing it correctly — right claims, right class, right time — is where most businesses lose everything.
Disclosed publicly before filing
A blog post, pitch deck, or demo before filing permanently destroys your patent rights. Most inventors do not know this until it is too late.
Patent granted but unenforceable
Poorly drafted claims protect nothing. Competitors design around them in days. Strategic claim drafting is a skill most generalist attorneys simply do not have.
Years of waiting with zero updates
Examination takes 3–5 years. Most attorneys file and disappear. Office actions go unanswered. Your invention sits exposed while you wait in the dark.
Filed in the wrong class
India has 45 trademark classes. Filing in the wrong one gives you registration on paper but zero real protection. Most attorneys file the obvious class, not the right one.
Objection received — nobody told you
Examination reports arrive 3–6 months after filing. Many attorneys never inform clients. Deadlines pass. Applications lapse. Your brand stays unprotected.
Someone else filed your brand name first
IP India is first-come, first-served. A competitor can file your name today and own it legally — even if you created it first. Every day of delay is real risk.
Legismith prevents every single one of these.
For patents and trademarks both.Simple process. Zero surprises. No chasing us.
We handle the complexity so you can focus on building. Here is exactly what working with Legismith looks like.
We search before we file
Before filing anything — trademark or patent — we run a full clearance search. You never spend money on a doomed application. Clear go/no-go decision. Always.
You spend less than 2 hours
We ask the right questions, handle all drafting, and file within 48 hours for trademarks and 30 days for patents. No long forms. No legal jargon. No confusion.
We back our work
If your application is rejected due to our error, we discount your professional fee on the next filing. One dedicated attorney. One point of contact. Always.

Learn moreYour brand and your invention are business assets — treat them like one.
We work with founders and businesses who have built something real. Here is what proper IP protection actually does for your business.
File before you announce
Every client who lost their brand name to a competitor had one thing in common — they announced before filing. Registration takes 48 hours. The risk of waiting is permanent.
A registered mark has legal teeth
Without registration, you have no legal standing to stop a copycat. With it, one letter from us is enough to make them stop. Registration is the difference between a complaint and a legal right.
Investors and acquirers check this first
Before any term sheet is signed, the first due diligence item is IP status. A clean, registered IP portfolio signals a serious, defensible business. Gaps in IP slow deals down or kill them.
Your India filing protects you globally
An Indian filing date gives you priority rights in 180+ countries under the Madrid Protocol and PCT. You do not need to file everywhere at once — but you do need to file here first.
Do not let a filing delay cost you your IP rights.
IP India and patent offices worldwide operate on first-come, first-served. Every day without filing is a day someone else can claim what you built.
