The world of Intellectual Property law services is well known now as most companies and individuals understand the significance of patents, trademarks, copyrights, designs, and others. But fifteen years ago, it was a different scenario in India. This branch of law was not so well defined, and services were being offered by professionals with very little or no technology and business background. It took a visionary like Dr. Kalyan Kankanala who co-founded his firm BananaIP (formerly known as Brain League) in 2004 with an aim to provide the best of IP law services which would follow international standards.
In these 15 years, through the fortitude and sheer hard work of Dr. Kankanala and the senior partners, the company has achieved great heights and is now considered to be a pioneer in the evolution of IP laws in India through their quality services, law and policy contributions, highly cited publications, and proactive technology integration. Maximizing business value is the main motto of BananaIP, and a complete commitment from the team in different sections of IP law makes them a premier firm in the country.
The Team
The firm and its partners are recognized and ranked as leaders in the IP industry. They hold honorary positions with national and international IP committees and research centres, and their views are regularly cited by leading news organizations, journals and research publications.
Dr. Kalyan Kankanala, the managing partner of BananaIP, holds advanced degrees from the world’s leading law institutions, the National Law School of India University, Bangalore and Franklin Pierce Law Center, USA. From a small cabin at IIM Bangalore, he and his team have transformed the landscape of IP standards in India, achieving important qualitative and quantitative milestones. He is recognized among the top IP minds of India, having helped more than 600 clients achieve intellectual property and commercial success.
Somashekar Ramakrishna, a senior partner, is an accomplished mechanical/automotive engineer with a Master’s degree in IP, commerce and technology from Franklin Pierce Law Center USA. With years of experience of working with leading US Patent Firm and United Nations Industrial Development Organization, he is a nationally recognized attorney in patent drafting for global manufacturing and automotive companies. In his own words, he acknowledges that his passion for IP law and his honest work ethics could not have found a better place than BananaIP where the core values of the company are crystal clear in the minds of like-minded professionals.
