Compliance Disclaimer & Platform Terms of Use

Effective date: 2.10.2025.

1. Nature of the platform

ipronline.com is a technology platform that provides process/workflow management, document logistics, knowledge sources and information tools for intellectual property (IP) procedures. ipronline.com is not a law firm, does not practice law and does not provide legal advice, legal opinions, or legal representation in any forum or proceeding.

2. No legal advice

All content, tools, timelines, templates, dashboards and knowledge resources are for general information and process enablement only and are not legal advice. Users must obtain independent legal advice before making any decision that could affect rights or obligations.

3. No advocate-client relationship

Accessing or using this website, creating an account, submitting data, or communicating with ipronline.com does not create an advocate-client (attorney-client) relationship. Such a relationship arises only upon execution of a separate written engagement with an enrolled advocate or IP law firm appointed with due authorization by the user.

4. Non‑solicitation

BCI Rule 36 compliance
ipronline.com does not solicit legal work or advertise legal services, directly or indirectly. Any descriptions of process features or legal information are solely informational about the platform’s technology and process management competencies. This aligns with the Bar Council of India’s prohibition on advertising/solicitation and related directives concerning online platforms.

5. Independent counsel engagement
  • Engagement of advocates/IP law firms for specialized handling (e.g., filings in representative capacity, examination responses, hearings, oppositions, enforcement, litigation) is optional and at the applicant’s discretion. Where counsel is engaged, professional responsibility rests solely with the engaged advocate/law firm.

  • ipronline.com / any member of the platform does not appear before courts/tribunals/registries and does not hold out any entitlement to do so. Any such appearances are by independent enrolled advocates/agents or authorized law firms, upon user’s written instructions/ authorisation.
6. IP office procedure references

Process guidance on forms, fees, classes, timelines, hearings and notifications reflects public frameworks of the Intellectual Property Office of India and may change.

7. Disclaimers

18. Suspension and termination

ipronline.com may suspend or terminate access (with or without notice) for suspected violations of these terms, legal requirements, or platform integrity/security concerns.
