1. What this covers

Everything you send through this form (the work itself, the description, the documents about who owns it, and the fact that you are considering registering it) is treated by ISERDIndia Analytics as your confidential information.

2. What we undertake

We will use what you send only to assess your work and to advise you on protecting it. We will not disclose it to anyone outside ISERDIndia, and we will not use it for our own purposes or for any other client.

3. Who sees it

Your brief is accessible to ISERDIndia's registered agents and the professionals working on your enquiry, each of whom is bound by the same duty of confidence and by the professional obligations that apply to registered agents. ISERDIndia works with two partner firms, Doon Intellectual Property Solutions and Patentomatic Law Consultancy, whose registered agents may also work on your matter, and both of which send their own clients to this same form. Each of them is bound by this undertaking. Nobody outside these three firms sees it.

4. How long it lasts

This undertaking continues whether or not you go on to engage us, and it does not end when your enquiry does.

5. What it does not cover

It does not apply to information that is already public, that we already held before you sent it, that reaches us lawfully from someone else, or that we are required to disclose by law or by a court or authority.

6. No agent-client relationship yet

Sending this form does not by itself engage us, and nothing in our reply is legal advice until we are formally engaged and an engagement letter is in place. We are happy to sign your own NDA instead if you prefer. Write to info@iserdindia.org.

7. Your data

Your details are stored securely on ISERDIndia's systems and are never sold or shared for marketing. Under the DPDP Act, 2023 you may withdraw this consent or ask us to correct or erase your data at any time by writing to info@iserdindia.org.

8. One thing we ask of you

Answer the ownership questions as they actually are, not as you would like them to be. We are not asking you to hold anything back: publish, sell and use the work as you please, because copyright is not lost by publication the way a patent or a design is. But an application filed on a chain of title that does not hold up is worse than no application, and the Registry is not the place to find that out.
