End-to-End Patent Portfolio Support

From a first sketch on the page to enforcement in court, we are with you throughout the full cycle of your invention.

Our capabilities include:

  • Arabic translation of patent specifications
  • Patent Portfolio Management
  • Patent Litigation & Enforcement 
  • Licensing, franchising, and technology transfer agreements

Unparalleled Technical Expertise

Our patent professionals bring STEM depth, enforcement expertise and years of hands-on work with R&D-driven companies. Many of them have served as patent examiners or in-house patent portfolio managers, with in-depth knowledge of patent prosecution combined with strong commercial acumen. This enables us to provide our clients with comprehensive protection of both their legal and business interests.
We bring clarity to complexity and strategy to every filing.

Enforcement & Litigation

We are known for our well developed and successful patent enforcement practice, particularly in complex and difficult parts of the Middle East, South Asia and Africa. Our litigation teams handle infringement claims, invalidity challenges, and regulatory-linked enforcement.
