Introduction
Recognised extensively as a pre-eminent IP lawyer and investor, Safir Anand is a man of eclectic interests and innovative ideas.
Accredited as one of India’s top IP attorneys, Safir is a profound IP adviser who has been widely recognised for business model building, marketing and commercial insights blended with an astute understanding of IP laws.
Safir has broken barriers with landmark registrations such as for the first colour mark, first sound mark and first shape mark.
From protecting IP and spreading awareness about it individually and in close association with bodies such as the INTA, the ECTA and the FICCI, Safir has now launched IPFeast, probably the world’s first IP festival celebrating homegrown brands. He is also the author of Chrysalis – a coffee-table book on brands and composer of Calm The World.
A believer in the rich heritage of India’s composite culture, Safir is working with various stakeholders – the government of India, the Indian Parliament, members of erstwhile princely states and industry bodies – to trace lost legacies and also showcase it to the world.
