In the present world, the legal regulations and technological advancements have increased the complexity of business operations due to globalization. As a result, legal and compliance risks in the area of intellectual property rights need to be even more diligently managed than ever before. Al Faqih & Co recognized that intellectual property and technology law is at the core of any major business transaction or strategic dispute and has become one of the most critical legal areas as companies continue to expand and protect their technologies, brands, products, data and services.
Al Faqih & Co assists businesses with the handling of all IP related matters, in particular the registration of trademarks, drafting of license agreements and representation before authorities. Our lawyers regularly review contracts and advise on the permissibility of firm names and trademarks, and litigate intellectual property infringements and misleading advertisements.
