Mason & Associates joins the trade mark contentious and copyright rankings this year after much recommendation from peers and clients. A peer says: "The firm is very strong in litigation in both trade marks and copyrights." A practitioner notes of partner Neel Mason: "He is definitely recommended for being a strong litigator." The firm provides advice and IP services to clients such as Dr Reddys' Laboratories, Everest Industries and Super Cassettes Industries. Mason was one of the practitioners called to appear before the Standing Committee of Parliament in relation to the Copyright Amendment Bill in representation of the Indian Music Industry. The firm provided advice to Super Cassettes Industries relating to copyright issues regarding the licensing of music for FM radio and TV.
A continuing concern for the firm is the regular review of copyright publishing agreements for publishing house clients Vikas Publications, Full Circle Publications, PHI Learning and Amaryllis Publications.
