Personal branding · Finance and legal

A founder filing a first trademark cannot tell you apart from a filing portal.

Personal branding for an intellectual property lawyer separates a registered practitioner from the online filing services a founder finds first. GullySales builds that presence around what you prosecute and what you argue, drafted from a monthly conversation, with no claim about outcomes and nothing published until your own compliance check has passed it.

Where this sits

For intellectual property lawyers

Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.

  • Filing looks like a commodity until something goes wrong

    The founder who filed through a website for a few thousand rupees comes back two years later with an examination report and an opposition. By then they are looking for a person, and the website has no person.

  • Two of your buyers do not speak the same language

    A brand manager wants to know whether the name is safe to print on packaging. An engineering head wants to know whether the specification holds up. Writing that satisfies one reads as noise to the other.

  • Your registration is a credential nobody can see

    Enrolment as an advocate and registration as a patent agent are separate things, and clients do not know the difference exists. A profile that does not say which you hold leaves you judged against somebody who holds neither.

  • Foreign associate work does not come from search

    If your filings arrive from firms in the United States or Europe, your problem sits in delegate lists, committee seats and who remembers meeting you at a conference. An Indian search ranking will not touch it.

What we do

What we deliver for intellectual property lawyers.

Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.

  1. A profile that states the qualification plainly

    Enrolment, patent agent registration where you hold it, the technical degree behind it, and the offices and forums you appear before. Written without a claim about success.

    Result: A founder comparing you with a filing website can see what the difference buys them.

  2. The interview, once a month

    An hour on a recent objection, a refusal you got overturned or the mistake founders keep making at the filing stage. Everything published that month is drafted from it.

    Result: Writing that sounds like you, produced without a single evening of your own.

  3. Answers to what people search after a notice

    Plain pieces on what an examination report asks for, what an opposition involves, what a cease and desist letter does and does not mean. Never advice on a live matter.

    Result: The caller already knows the shape of the problem, so the first conversation is about their facts.

  4. The record other lawyers refer from

    Reported matters where they are public, the subjects you speak on, and a biography kept current for association panels and conference organisers.

    Result: A general practice advocate holding a trademark dispute knows who to hand it to.

  5. Material the associate network can circulate

    A capability note and a current biography written for a foreign firm's India desk, saying what you handle yourself and what you refer out.

    Result: Somebody picking an Indian agent from a list has more than a firm name to go on.

How the result is measured

  • Enquiries that name you or came through your profile
  • Searches for your name, from Search Console
  • Profile views and connection requests from your industry
  • Speaking invitations, press enquiries and podcast requests
  • Posts published against posts planned, and what held up the rest

Recorded as a baseline before work starts, then reported every month against it.

How it works

From your first message to the first monthly report.

No open-ended retainer. Each step has a point in time and something you receive.

  1. 01 · Day 1

    Free audit call

    45 minutes with whoever handles your enquiries: how they arrive, how fast they are answered, where they are lost.

  2. 02 · Within a few working days

    Written, scored report

    Six areas scored, fixes ranked by return and cost. If you want our help, the scope and fee come with it, in writing.

  3. 03 · Before work starts

    Baseline recorded

    Enquiries by source, reply time, conversion and cost per order, written down so every later month has an honest comparison.

  4. 04 · Month 1

    The first fix goes live

    Usually the cheapest one on the report: reply time, a follow-up sequence or the marketing-to-sales handover.

  5. 05 · Every month

    Report against the baseline

    What moved, what did not, and what changes next, in plain words.

  6. 06 · Month 3 to 6

    Renew on the numbers

    The term ends and you decide whether to continue from the results. No twelve-month lock.

How the work runs for intellectual property lawyers

  1. 1

    Work out whether this is even your bottleneck

    The audit call covers how enquiries reach you today. Plenty of owners come asking for this and leave with a report saying the company's own site is the weaker link, and that comes first.

  2. 2

    Search your own name with you

    We look at what a buyer sees today: every profile, old listing and photograph. Some of it you will want taken down, and some of it only you can take down.

  3. 3

    Agree what you will and will not say

    The subjects you know cold, the ones that belong to your clients, and the lines your regulator or association draws. Written down before anything is published.

  4. 4

    Rebuild the profiles

    The bio page, LinkedIn and the directories that matter in your field, done once and done properly.

  5. 5

    The monthly rhythm

    Interview, drafts, your approval, publication. The interview is the only part that needs you, and it is the part that cannot be skipped.

  6. 6

    Hand it over

    The subject list, the drafting notes and the calendar are yours. Plenty of owners keep it running themselves after a few months, and that is a fair outcome.

  • A baseline before anything starts

    Your numbers are written down on day one, so every monthly report compares against something honest.

    Our time, your media spend and production on separate lines. You always see what goes to us.

    Three to six months at a time. We never promise a ranking or a lead count, because nobody controls those.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Can I publish the matters I have won?
Only the facts already on the public record, and without any suggestion that you will repeat them. The Bar Council restricts advertising and soliciting work, and a case list presented as a success record is where lawyers get into difficulty. Have your State Bar Council or your own compliance adviser confirm what you may show before it goes up, because it is your enrolment and your patent agent registration at stake, and we clear nothing on your behalf.
Most of my work comes from abroad. Is this useful?
Less than you would hope. Instructing firms choose from association contacts, conference meetings and whoever they used last time, and none of that moves with an Indian search result. What does travel is a current biography and a capability note the India desk can pass around, which is a much smaller piece of work than the full programme.
How long before the founders find me?
The profile works within weeks. Anybody given your name can confirm who you are, which is the smaller half of the job. Ranking for what a founder types takes months and competes against filing portals that advertise, so we record where your enquiries come from before starting and report against that figure every month. None of it happens without your hour a month, and without the hour the budget belongs elsewhere.
How much does it cost?
There is no price list, because the work differs by business. The fee is scoped in the free audit and put in writing before anything starts, split into our time, your media spend and production.
How long is the contract?
Three to six months at a time. There is no twelve-month lock, and renewal is decided on the numbers against the baseline recorded at the start.
Who will actually do the work?
The person you meet on the audit call. We work from one office in Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru, with no account managers in between.
What do you need from us?
For the audit, last month's enquiries in any format and 45 minutes with whoever handles them. After that, access to the accounts the work touches, such as the website, Google Business Profile or CRM, and time for the monthly review.
What if we are not happy with the work?
Tell us and the plan changes. Every month is reported against the baseline, so a number that is not moving is visible to both sides. Terms run three to six months at a time, and the refund and cancellation policy sets out the rest.
