World Trademark Review has ranked Rupin Chopra, Associate Partner at S.S. Rana & Co., in the WTR 1000 2026 for India in the Silver tier for Individuals: Prosecution and Strategy. The ranking is a step up from his listing as a Recommended individual in the 2025 edition, and it reflects a business-focused trademark prosecution practice covering portfolios in more than 100 countries for Indian and international clients.
About the WTR 1000
The WTR 1000: The World’s Leading Trademark Professionals is published annually by World Trademark Review (WTR). It is the only standalone directory devoted exclusively to trademark practice, and its 2026 edition covers more than 80 country and US state chapters. WTR’s analysts research each edition over a four-month period; the 2026 research involved more than 1,500 face-to-face and telephone interviews with trademark specialists around the world.
WTR states that its research is conducted independently of any commercial considerations. Ranked individuals may choose to publish a profile for a fee, but inclusion in the rankings is not linked to that choice.
What Rupin’s ranking means
Ranked on market feedback. Individuals qualify for the WTR 1000 only on receiving sufficient positive feedback from market sources who know their practice, including peers and clients. WTR also weighs depth of expertise, market presence and the level of work on which practitioners are typically instructed.
A tiered assessment. WTR presents its results in Gold, Silver and Bronze bands rather than as a numbered list, with Gold reserved for those attracting the most positive comments and handling the most sophisticated work. Individuals may also be listed as Recommended.
Separate practice categories. WTR ranks non-contentious and contentious trademark work separately in India. Rupin Chopra is ranked in the following category:
| Category | What it covers | Rupin Chopra in 2026 |
| Individuals: Prosecution and Strategy | Clearance and searches, filing and prosecution, oppositions before the Registry, portfolio management and brand protection strategy | Silver |
