SKS Law Associates retains its place in the patent prosecution rankings this year. Positioning itself as a "non-traditional IP practice", the firm is looking to expand its expertise in all areas including prosecution and contentious work. Though its main expertise is in patents, the firm has worked extensively on geographical indications. CEO Sunita Sreedharan is recommended by clients: "I rate her very highly as a legal professional. One particular point which impressed me is her understanding of the philosophy behind various pieces of legislation, particularly intellectual property rights. Only a person who understands the motivating factors of legislation can put the issues at stake in the right perspective."
A client praises the firm: "I would recommend SKS Law Associates for various reasons, the first being the quality of its services, which is of a high order. Another is their deep knowledge relating to intellectual property case law. They also brief us in advance about the pitfalls and difficulties in any particular approach. Finally, they have a deep sense of the social obligations of the legal profession. This, I have found in very few lawyers."
