The main idea behind intellectual property laws is the protection of fruits (productions) of human mind; this production is in fact the most valuable asset and it is what gives an edge to any business over its competitors; however, the intellectual asset is very vulnerable and needs intensive legal attention.
The legal system for protecting intellectual property rights of various types is very sophisticated; certain rights are not legally recognised unless officially filed and registered and others are not. Registrability of IP rights may be lost due to simple mistakes in the application for registration or due to publication or use before the time of filing the application; the likelihood of success in gaining protection (and perhaps in encountering infringers) highly depends on preparing the application very well and preserving the idea from going public before the act of filing.
From the time the mental production is still an abstract idea utill the time such production is safely put into commercial operation, many legal precautions and requirements are required to be taken care of. at Lex Arabia we propose ourselves as a one stop shop for all legal assistance concerning intellectual property rights. Our services include providing consultations on how the idea should be preserved before the act of filing, submitting and following up on registration applications, handling oppositions, encountering infringement, providing licensing advice and legal drafting and IP evaluation.
