Pravin Anand Conferred with APAA ‘Enduring Impact’ Award
Mr. Pravin Anand, Managing Partner and Head of Litigation at Anand and Anand, had a dream as a fifth grader — a dream to become a Patent Lawyer. Almost four decades and numerous landmark cases later, he stands today receiving one of the greatest honours for a patent lawyer. Extremely delighted to share that Mr. Anand has been bestowed with the APAA (Asian Patent Attorneys Association) ‘Enduring Impact’ Award for his unparalleled contribution in the growth of APAA and its Indian Group.
Pre-eminent IP Lawyer and Managing Partner of Anand and Anand, Mr. Pravin Anand, has been conferred with the prestigious ‘Enduring Impact’ Award for his unparalleled contribution in the growth of Asian Patent Attorney Association and its Indian Group.
The award was conferred at a ceremony in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia where the Association members are also meeting for the 21st General Assembly and Council Meeting of APAA.
In his acceptance speech, Mr. Anand reflected on his childhood dream of becoming a Patent Lawyer and went on to express that such is his dedication and love for IP (and Patents) that one lifetime is not enough.
Mr. Anand applauded the APAA India Group that has grown from one with only two members to about 430 members who share knowledge and friendship. It is interesting to note that Mr. Anand was the first General Secretary of the India Group and has been the longest serving APAA member from India. He has gone above and beyond to lay the foundation of the APAA India Group – be it organizing regular meets or events, Mr. Anand’s continued involvement ensured that today APAA India Group is the largest single IP professional organization in India which is constantly involved in improving the IP ecosystem in the country.
As the former President of APAA and AIPPI, and former Director of INTA, he led several delegations before the Government of India leading to significant improvement in the IP ecosystem in India.
