About
Sumedha Jamwal is an Associate at Khaitan & Partners, Delhi, practising in Intellectual Property and General Corporate Law. A law graduate from Symbiosis Law School, Pune — with an undergraduate degree in Sociology from Kamala Nehru College, University of Delhi — she brings an interdisciplinary lens to her practice spanning trademark prosecution and litigation, commercial law, DPDP compliance, securities law, and cross-border advisory. She has interned with some of India’s most prominent IP practices including Anand & Anand, TMT Law Practice, and Kochhar & Co., as well as with IP-tech firm TRUMARX. A sharp legal commentator, she regularly publishes in-depth analysis on IP law developments — including a widely noted series on the Delhi High Court’s Western Digital v. Geonix ruling on reverse passing off — and co-authored a runner-up research paper on dark patterns and fintech at the SYMFIN 2023 international conference. She has a keen interest in AI, data privacy, and the evolving intersection of law and technology.
