Automotive

With a contribution of 7.1% to India’s GDP and offering direct employment to 15 million workers, the automotive industry is critical to the country’s economy. Owing to the sector’s stiff rivalry, allegations of anticompetitive behaviour and monopolistic control from automobile manufacturers and brands is commonplace.
Also, the industry faces hurdles in the acquisition of large pieces of land for setting up manufacturing plants which results in the stalling of the projects until the matter had been decided by the courts. And then there are employee-related issues resulting in disputes between trade unions and manufacturers.
The industry also happens to be one of the most innovative industries thereby making Intellectual Property (IP) a vital asset for automotive companies. Consequently, over the years, the industry has witnessed significant IP disputes ranging from matters of patents to industrial designs and copyrights.
Through a combination of mediation, petitions, and litigation, we at Kasturi Associates bank on the numerous legal precedences in the automotive industry and our very own jurisprudence to deliver favourable verdicts to our clients.
