Intellectual Property

Intellectual Property Lawyers In Dubai

Intellectual Property (IE) law covers the topic of ownership of materials and works by people and organizations. This area of law is highly sought after, especially by businesses who wish to protect their unique developments and designs.

However, intellectual property law is also applicable for the protection of works by individuals.

For businesses, the subject area is crucial for the protection of trademarks, product designs, patents, brand image, and other copyrighted material. The topic can cover many aspects of personal works for individuals, such as written materials (e.g., books and articles), music scores, film productions, web designs, and more.

Effective Intellectual Property Enforcement

At AWS Advocates and Legal Consultants, our specialist intellectual property lawyers have great experience in the industry. This enables us to provide adequate protection for individuals and organizations of different sizes within Dubai and the wider UAE. In cases where a dispute cannot be resolved, we are fully equipped to take enforcement measures to ensure compliance with the law. This can be achieved via the UAE courts and also the DIFC courts.

Our Intellectual Property Services

The topic of Intellectual Property covers a broad spectrum, and we are fortunate to specialize in all key areas. We can provide advice, support, and enforcement services in Dubai, the wider UAE, and across the MENA (the Middle East and North Africa) region. The primary IP services our lawyers cover include:

  • Anti-counterfeiting and the protection of goods – We can provide advice, support, and protection against counterfeit goods in circulation. This includes the enforcement of patents to ensure compliance with UAE and international law.
  • Brand protection – Companies that rely on recognizable branding require expert IP services. Our knowledgeable intellectual property lawyers have a positive track record of commercial trademark and patent protection.
  • Marketing and advertising – For commercial organizations, the protection of marketing collateral and advertising imagery, writing, and video production are crucial. We are on hand to provide expert knowledge and guidance for companies of all sizes.
  • Copyright protection – The enforcement of copyrighted works by individual persons or businesses is essential to preserve the nature of the materials. We can enforce intellectual property law by issuing demands for compliance. Similarly, in cases of non-compliance, we can take further action to ensure enforcement.
  • Transferring intellectual property – Our IP lawyers can oversee the entire transfer of intellectual property to other individuals and organizations. We provide initial advice and support, then prepare the necessary ownership contracts.
  • Intellectual property portfolio management – Large organizations with multiple brands often need full-service IP portfolio management. This ensures the protection and enforcement of intellectual property disputes against competing businesses.
