Trade mark practice and Registry experience
Nuzhat Ara is a Senior Associate with nearly three decades at Khursheed Khan & Associates. Her practice centres on trade mark prosecution, opposition and enforcement, with particular experience in preparing pleadings and legal notices and appearing before the Registrar of Trade Marks.
Her work spans both the progression of applications and contested Registry matters. This provides continuity when a brand’s route to registration becomes contentious or a rights holder needs to challenge a competing claim.
Contribution to the firm’s brand practice
Nuzhat’s Registry experience complements the firm’s broader brand-protection and litigation services. Her focus is the preparation and presentation of the trade mark matter: the relevant record, the parties’ positions and the issues to be addressed at the Registry.
Her background combines legal education with postgraduate study in petroleum geology. Her professional profile remains centred on her established trade mark practice, including opposition work, hearings and portfolio matters.
