Intellectual property protection
(Copyright, patents, designs, objections and disputes)
Because an idea can be worth a fortune, «Arab Charter» gives protecting innovation and identity a top priority. We offer an integrated system for protecting copyright, patents, and industrial designs within the frameworks in force in the Kingdom through the Saudi Authority for Intellectual Property (SAIP), from determining the appropriate type of protection to filing and follow-up, handling objections and disputes, and legally representing the client.
Service details
The Intellectual Property Protection Service in «Mithaq Al Arabiya» is based on Saudi regulations regulating intellectual rights, including the Copyright Protection System, the Patent and Industrial Designs System, and the regulations of the Saudi Intellectual Property Authority (SAIP). We begin with a legal study that determines the most appropriate type of protection (author’s right/invention/industrial design), then we prepare filing requests and submit them electronically via the Authority’s platforms, while following up on the stages of technical and legal examination until the registration certificate is issued.
The service includes managing legal objections and defenses in the event of an infringement of rights or objections to similar requests, while representing the client before the competent authorities and committees examining intellectual disputes. We also manage companies’ intellectual portfolios and provide preventive strategies to protect brands and innovations inside and outside the Kingdom through Madrid’s international mechanisms, which enhances market position and preserves rights in the long term.
