An IP lawyer who most notably represented JK Rowling on a copyright case has been appointed as copyright head at Indian law firm FoxMandal Little. Serving over six years as partner in rival firm Akash Chittranshi & Associates, Rahul Beruar (pictured) has a track record of having advised clients such as Warner Bros, Bloomsbury, Cambridge University Press and various other publishers on copyright protection cases in India. "Copyright enforcement is the need of the time, as India has to have a viable IPR [intellectual property rights] regime to sustain its growth," said Beruar. The JK Rowling case involved a copyright breach of the Harry Potter series, in a local work titled Harry Potter Samagra.
