Intellectual Property in Punjab: Powering Industry & Agriculture

Punjab is known for its entrepreneurial spirit and robust industrial base. From the bustling factories of Ludhiana to the export hubs of Jalandhar and the tech parks of Mohali, the state is a hive of activity. In this competitive environment, Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) are the shield that protects your hard work.

Whether you are manufacturing world-class sports equipment, designing trendy hosiery, or developing new agricultural tools, your innovations need legal protection. Unauthorized copying can eat into your profits and damage your brand's reputation globally.

At AMA Legal Solutions, we specialize in securing Trademarks, Patents, and Designs for Punjab's businesses. With our deep understanding of the local market and expertise in the Punjab & Haryana High Court, we ensure your business stays ahead of the curve.
