An example problem.

Arjun Sharma is a fictional advocate used to show how LexForge fits a typical prep workflow. He just landed a complex IP case — a Bengaluru startup suing an ex-intern for misappropriating trade secrets, an ML module built during an internship, now showing up in a rival product.

He has 72 hours to prep. Where does he start?

This is where LexForge begins.

01 · Research Mode

Precedent research · Library + Indian Kanoon

Arjun types a query. LexForge searches Indian Kanoon, uploaded judgments, and SCI + eCourts — results in seconds.

"Work made for hire — internship contract — ownership of ML module — High Court"

✓ Kanoon

Maneka Gandhi v. Union of India1978 · 1 SCC 248 · Work made for hire doctrine

✓ Kanoon

Eastern Book Company v. D.B. Modak2008 · SCJ 1 · Copyright Act, §17 authorship

✓ Library

Nirma Ltd v. Nirma Chemical WorksHC Delhi · employment IP · NDA enforceability

02 · Argument Builder

Pleadings drafting · IRAC framework

Structured submissions around NeuroWeave's ownership claim — cited and ready to refine in your own words.

IIssue

Does NeuroWeave own the ML module? Is Priya's work "made for hire" under the internship agreement?

RRule

Section 17 Copyright Act 1957 — employer owns work if created in course of employment. Maneka Gandhi (1978) on contractual employment scope.

AApplication

Priya's module was developed during internship hours, CTO directed integration, NDA assigns IP rights. Work falls within internship scope.

CConclusion

High Court may find ownership vests in NeuroWeave. Priya's "personal time" claim weakened by CTO's knowledge and directive.

Arjun's submissions are structured, cited, and ready to file — drafted in minutes.

03 · Devil's Advocate

Adversarial assessment · Bench anticipation

Before filing, LexForge stress-tests Arjun's submission — surfacing weaknesses and what opposition will argue.

Arjun's submission

"NeuroWeave owns the module under §17, Copyright Act 1957."

Weaknesses found

High

Cites Puttaswamy (2017) but doesn't extract the specific proportionality test — Bench will demand it.

High

No evidence Priya uploaded all code to company systems — gap in "work made for hire" chain.

Mod

Limitation period not addressed. Bench may ask if claim is time-barred.

Opposition will argue

Module built on personal laptop, outside office hours — factual dispute on employment scope.
NDA is standard boilerplate; may be unconscionable in internship context under §27 Indian Contract Act.
"General knowledge in ML" is not proprietary — cannot be exclusively owned.

Arjun now knows exactly where his argument breaks — before the judge does.

04 · Debate Simulation

Full adversarial hearing

Opening submissions → rebuttal → sur-rebuttal → judicial observations. Five Minds on the Bench shape every round.

Opening · P

Arjun advances NeuroWeave's ownership claim under §17. Cites Maneka Gandhi, Eastern Book Co.

Opening · R

Respondent disputes employment scope. Raises "personal time" and general knowledge defences.

Rebuttal · P

Arjun counters: CTO's email directing integration demolishes "personal time" claim.

Sur-rebuttal · R

NDA is unconscionable. Company never patented the module — can't claim exclusivity.

Bench · Strict Proceduralist

"Counsel, you have not cited the specific proportionality test from Puttaswamy. Address limitation period."

Assessment

Moderate risk. Court may allow ownership claim with conditions on transparency.

Arjun walks into court having already lived through the hearing. Twice.

05 · Moot Chamber

Oral advocacy without the stakes.

Practice aloud — a Bench that interrupts, opposing counsel that challenges, and a written debrief saved to your file.

You (NeuroWeave)

"My Lords, I submit the balance of convenience favours the Plaintiff — irreparable harm from disclosure cannot be compensated in damages."

Judge

"Counsel, hold on — how do you distinguish general industry knowledge from the specific trade secret you claim?"

Opposing Counsel

"My Lord, the so-called module is ordinary business method. NeuroWeave cannot monopolise skills any intern would carry."
