What Singh & Singh does

Singh & Singh Law Firm LLP is a New Delhi-headquartered intellectual property and commercial law firm founded in 1997 by Maninder Singh and Prathiba M. Singh. The firm specializes in patents, trademarks, copyright, designs, plant varieties, geographical indications, semiconductor IP, competition law, telecom and broadcasting regulation, data protection, drug regulatory matters, and arbitration. It serves a client base of multinational corporations and Indian enterprises spanning pharmaceuticals (Roche, Novartis, Cipla, Pfizer, Hetero), telecommunications and consumer electronics (Ericsson, BSNL, Lava, Toyota), consumer goods (Procter & Gamble, Havells), broadcasting (Zee Entertainment, Dish TV, India TV, Zee Turner), and publishing and agriculture. Practice depth is concentrated before tribunals including TRAI/TDSAT, the Competition Commission of India, NCLT, the Supreme Court of India, and the Delhi High Court, supported by international affiliations for multi-jurisdictional matters.

The firm's offering is a traditional professional services portfolio covering the full IP lifecycle from prosecution and registration through enforcement, litigation, licensing, and portfolio management, alongside regulatory and dispute resolution mandates. No proprietary technology platform, application, or API is offered; operational infrastructure is limited to enterprise-grade encryption, multi-layered cloud and physical storage, and secure off-site backup for confidentiality. The business model is built on retainer fees, hourly billing, fixed-fee engagements, and success-based contingency fees for litigation, with no disclosed pricing transparency or subscription product. Revenue figures are not publicly reported.

Differentiation is anchored in landmark first-of-kind jurisprudence rather than technology. The firm secured India's first final ruling in telecom Standard Essential Patent infringement, winning INR 244 Crores in damages for Ericsson against Lava International, and has established precedent-setting rulings on taglines as trademarks (Procter & Gamble), the credible challenge concept in pharma patent litigation (Roche vs. Cipla), and Section 3(d) coverage-disclosure requirements (Novartis vs. Union of India). The firm holds Tier 1 IP rankings from Legal 500, IAM Patent 1000, WTR 1000, and Managing IP, with 200+ awards and recognitions. In January 2026 the firm announced the merger of Kommit Techno-Legal LLP's litigation practice effective April 1, 2026, with Karmanya Singh Sareen joining as Managing Partner.
