Testimonials from BR Learners
Paarth Samdani, Associate, Khaitan & Co.
“Bettering Results (BR) provided me with a platform to interact with leading industry professionals such as Bharadwaj Jaishankar Sir, Sourav Dan Sir, SAYA CHOUDHARY Ma’am, Shilpi Mehta Nanda Ma’am, Manika Arora Ma’am, Shireen Dhar Ma’am, Garima Sahney Ma’am and several others. Although I was skeptical about joining an online course, I was positively surprised when I understood the value I was deriving from each interaction.
The discussions provided me with an insight into the practical nuances of Intellectual Property, and definitely cleared up some delusions. I was exposed to the practice of drafting trade mark applications, patent specifications, licensing and franchising agreements etc. There was also a lot of dialogue on the contemporary issues pertaining to IP laws, broadening my thought and perspective.
I would definitely recommend anyone who wants to understand the practical use of Intellectual Property Law to enroll in future iterations of the Course.”
Sarthak Mishra, Associate, Shardul Amarchand Mangaldas & Co.
“This course was really well organised and well designed. What stood out was the value it delivered at such an economical pricing point, similar courses/conferences cost 10x more especially with the line-up of speakers we had. The moderator – speaker model was also quite intuitive and all important topics were covered by the speakers. I’m actually looking forward to courses like these organised in the future.”

“This mentorship covers the theory part of the entire breadth of IP categories and laws quite comprehensively, but more importantly equips the mentees with practical skills which can allow them to actually start working in all areas of IP law such as – important stages and process of IP filing, drafting IP registration applications, affidavits, objections, counter statements, cease and desist notices, stages of opposition proceedings, licensing or assigning IP rights, handling IP infringements, LOCARNO Classification, and IP rights in Cyberspace.
More than the knowledge of IP though, what I truly like about this unique mentorship is the hands-on skills it gives the mentees along with real insights and guidance from IP practitioners with extensive experience!”
