The beginning2022

A practice built for builders

Make protection feel
within reach.

TrademarkEase began with a simple belief: founders should be able to understand and act on the legal steps that protect the brands they work hard to build. Tanishka founded the practice in 2022 to make trademark support clear, practical and responsive to the needs of startups.

Today, the practice supports businesses through trademark searches and filings, Registry objections and hearings, oppositions, portfolio monitoring and trademark infringement matters. The work is grounded in a close understanding of each brand, its growth plans and the risks it faces.

“
Every brand is built with effort. Protecting its identity should be part of that journey from the start.

How Tanishka works

Clear thinking.
Personal attention.

01

Understand the business

Begin with the brand, its products and the way it plans to grow.

02

Explain the options

Make the filing route, risks and next steps easier to understand.

03

Stay with the matter

Support the application through examination, opposition and enforcement stages.

Practice

Trademark law,
from strategy to action.

Tanishka’s work includes trademark application strategy, examination responses, hearings, opposition and rectification proceedings, brand monitoring and infringement disputes.

She is based in Kolkata and works with founders and businesses seeking trademark support in India and in coordination with international counsel where required.
