At Bhate & Ponkshe, we are trusted to protect and maximize — a philosophy built into every member of our team of advocates, patent attorneys, and trademark attorneys. Since 1965, this combination of scientific grounding and legal expertise has enabled us to handle complex patent drafting and prosecution alongside trademark, design, copyright, and IP commercialisation matters, protecting what our clients create and maximizing what it’s worth — in India and across international jurisdictions.

Our team’s experience spans decades before the Indian Patent Office, Trade Marks Registry, and appellate forums, alongside international filing and prosecution work — supported through a network of associates worldwide — that gives clients a coordinated approach to global IP protection. Beyond prosecution, we advise clients on IP strategy, portfolio management, and commercialisation decisions that shape long-term business value. We work with clients ranging from first-time innovators and startups to large Indian and multinational corporations, always tailoring strategy to what the client actually needs.

This blend of technical rigor, legal expertise, and long-standing practice is what makes Bhate & Ponkshe trusted to protect and maximize — in India and around the world, for nearly six decades and counting.

विद्या ददाति विनयं विनयाद् याति पात्रताम्।
पात्रत्वात् धनमाप्नोति धनात् धर्मं ततः सुखम्॥

“Knowledge gives humility; humility brings worthiness; worthiness attains wealth; wealth leads to righteous conduct, and from that, true happiness.”

It is this belief — that knowledge, rightly nurtured and protected, becomes lasting value — that has guided our work since 1965.
