Knowledge Pioneers Law Firm

Our intellectual property practice protects our clients’ ideas, technology, products, and brands. Global clients in wide-ranging industries engage us on complex IP litigation, transactions, and counseling matters. From market leaders to dynamic startups, we help clients protect their market position and maximize their intellectual property. Due to the volume, size, and nature of the cases we try and the deals we structure, our clients benefit from our significant market intelligence.

With decades of experience, our IP litigation attorneys have achieved extraordinary results in patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret misappropriation, and advertising matters, and they excel in large-scale, bet-the-company cases. We have extensive experience in venues where IP cases are most often litigated, and we try cases before local and international judges and arbitrators in Saudi & GCC courts, IP authorities, arbitration seats. We have been, and continue to be, consistently successful in those venues.

Knowledge Pioneers has lawyers fully dedicated to negotiating, structuring, and closing complex transactions driven by innovation or technological opportunities, including joint ventures, strategic alliances, licenses, outsourcing, collaborations, and other strategic commercial agreements. Because we represent clients ranging from Fortune 100 companies to middle-market companies to growth-stage businesses, we see business arrangements from all perspectives and fully understand the diverse needs of all parties to a particular transaction.

Renowned for our experience in complex litigation and arbitration, our clients rely on us to anticipate their needs and outperform their expectations. We believe that the best litigation results — whether achieved in court or across the bargaining table — occur when the lawyers are fully prepared to try the case through verdict. Our focus on trial-readiness drives successful and more cost-efficient results for clients, as critical issues are identified early and then used to maximum advantage in the litigation and negotiation processes.

Our attorneys throughout our offices represent clients in trial and courts of appeal, before administrative tribunals, and in arbitrations and other dispute resolution proceedings. We also represent clients in connection with proceedings involving government agencies, such as Saudi Aramco, Saudi Authority For Intellectual Property, the Saudi Securities and Exchange Commission, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, the Chamber of Commerce, the Saudi Ministry of Human Resource and Social Development, and Offices of Attorneys General.

We have tried cases successfully to verdict or judgment in virtually every business segment and substantive area, including accountant liability, antitrust & competition, class action, mass tort & toxic tort, construction, consumer fraud, labor rights, franchise & distribution, insurance coverage, international arbitration, product liability, and securities & shareholder litigation.
