S. S. Rana

What S. S. Rana does

S. S. Rana & Co. is a full-service intellectual property and corporate law firm headquartered in New Delhi, India, established on 1 September 1989 as a partnership. The firm operates as a 'single-window legal solutions provider' covering patents, trademarks, designs, copyright, domain names, geographical indications, and corporate/commercial law across India and the SAARC region (Bangladesh, Nepal, Pakistan, Bhutan, Sri Lanka, Maldives, Myanmar, Mongolia, Afghanistan).

The firm's core technology is its integrated legal practice platform rather than a software product. It delivers end-to-end IP services (patentability assessment, drafting, filing, prosecution, international registration via PCT, Madrid Protocol, and Paris Convention, licensing, and enforcement), complemented by litigation from lower courts to the Supreme Court, anti-counterfeiting, maritime law, and insolvency practice. Corporate law coverage spans company law, consumer law, RERA, food laws, legal metrology, labour laws, competition law, IT law, data protection (DPDP Act), POSH compliance, and commercial contracts. The only distinct digital asset is a rule-based Patent Fee Calculator for estimating Indian government filing fees. The firm holds ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 27001:2022 certifications and is a registered Advocate-on-Record with the Supreme Court of India.

Revenue is generated through fee-based professional services, with pricing quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Government patent and trademark filing fees are standardized and published, but professional fees are negotiated per engagement. The firm sells exclusively through direct client engagement across seven Indian offices (New Delhi, Noida, Mumbai, Bangalore, Chennai, Kolkata, Chandigarh) with no intermediary or reseller channel. Customer segments span Fortune 500 corporations, multinational corporations across aviation, automobile, bio-medical, pharmaceutical, consumer goods, real estate, and IT sectors, Indian startups and MSMEs (which benefit from government small-entity fee concessions), and grassroots innovators reached through a CSR program called IP4Kids. The firm claims 8,000+ clients served worldwide and a team of 220+ professionals including 12 partners, 100+ attorneys, patent attorneys, and technically qualified engineers and scientists. Its go-to-market relies on thought leadership — articles, e-books, IP alerts, webinars, and analyst rankings (WTR 1000, Chambers Asia-Pacific, IAM Patent 1000, Legal 500, IBLJ A-List) — plus direct referrals and institutional partnerships with chambers of commerce and industry bodies.
