Our Story – Intellectual Property Leadership Since 1971
Abou Naja Intellectual Property pioneered IP law in a region where it was still emerging. Early expansion included Kuwait, Jordan, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar, creating one of the Gulf’s first cross-border IP networks. By the 1990s, we helped draft the UAE’s first IP laws and became one of its earliest licensed firms.
Today, with 14+ offices across the GCC, Middle East, and North Africa, we serve a diverse clientele, from ambitious startups to Fortune 500 companies, providing full-spectrum intellectual property services across industries and borders. Leveraging deep regional knowledge, youthful energy, and AI- driven platforms, we deliver innovative solutions for even the most complex IP challenges. Our unique methodology ensures our clients don’t just protect their intellectual property; they thrive with it.
