Abou Naja Intellectual Property is a regional pioneer in the application and enforcement of patent laws. It has a profound team of former patent examiners and industry-leading attorneys. The company has a robust corps of patent strategists and litigators, who diligently and aggressively enforce your rights on global scales.
A winning and distinct patent will frequently get contested. Our patent attorneys oversee and evaluate appeals and oppositions in real time and formulate factual stratagems by analysing the contesting grounds. Accordingly, we purposefully constrict the scope of all opposing claims and seek to invalidate allegations through timely filing of fact-based and verifiable counter-oppositions and appeals.
We are adamant that the method of drafting patent submissions must be a joint collaboration between us and the inventor. Prior to drafting your patent application, our patent experts diligently grasp the core of your invention to reliably appraise what makes your invention unique against existing prior art. Our attorneys' comprehensive drafting know-how and patent law knowledge, aim to ensure that all submissions are up to par; thus warranting timely acceptance by local patent offices.
The filing stage marks the commencement of an invention's patenting life cycle. Although patent drafting is often performed manually, it requires concentration, expertise, and technical acumen. Our patent attorneys consult on nuanced freedom-to-operate assessments, filing-based due diligence, and outstanding strategies for licensing policies across all stages of the patenting process. This ensures that our attorneys also enforce undeniable prosecution tactics, if needed.
Abou Naja Intellectual Property has successfully litigated several patent infringement lawsuits using in-depth analysis of detected violations and its scope of claims. We rigorously litigate any patent violations in federal courts in the MENA region. Our litigation policies serve you through preliminary and declaratory injunctions, reaching fair settlements, and secure favourable post-trial decisions on your behalf.
Filed patents are subject to annual renewals through an annuity fee. Such are usually due by the fiscal year of the patent’s official filing date. Our Patent specialists ensure that all deadlines are maintained, thus warranting that your secured patent rights remain intact and eliminate any possibility of lapsed patents. Our patent maintenance strategies assure the welfare of your rights while tenaciously prohibiting rivals from trespassing your patent functionalities.
Patent ownership is ephemeral and can undergo ownership-based changes. Our Patent Recordal Unit legally declares and documents such changes through legally binding patent Recordals. A patent may be assigned, then sold, and then assigned again. Such amendments are one of our fortes and we swiftly and skilfully document said changes for the express purpose of keeping your legal rights current and secure with respective patent licensing authorities.
Abou Naja Intellectual Property conducts patent searches with the aim of discovering and evaluating previously issued patents. We compare detected similar inventions to your invention and then draft memorandums outlining important similarities between your invention and a detected similar or equivalent patent. Our Patent Experts then conduct in-depth research and provide you with transparent advice on whether your invention is patentable.
Sustaining your patent's market value requires constant surveillance. Through our intricate Patent Watch operation, our patent attorneys focus on patent watch proceedings. This detects and prohibits the filing of patents identical or similar to yours. This service is detrimental in eliminating financial loss and halts illegitimate acts, such as violation of your rights' to your exclusive use of your patent.
For your invention to qualify for a patent registration, it must meet one of the following criteria:
It is crucial that you submit your patent for registration as soon as your final prototype is complete. Why? If your invention is indeed one of a kind, your local patent office will swiftly grant you ownership.
You may label your unique invention with ‘patent pending’ as soon as you officially submit your patent application. This is an advisable move, as it serves as public notice for potential infringers.
A patent search confirms if your invention is indeed unique and aids in guaranteeing the chances of your invention’s patentability.
A patent draft is the core of your patent application. It is the process of documenting and describing your patent’s specific technical functionalities.
Patent annuities are annual fees that are paid to your local patent office, once you are granted a patent . They are also known as patent renewal or maintenance fees.
Failure to pay annuities before the predetermined deadline will revoke your ability to enjoy the rights accruable from the Patent protection.
Patent recordals refer to an official record of all amendments made to your application such as change of ownership, changes in name and/or address of owner or license availability.
Patent infringement refers to the unauthorised use of a patented invention, product or object.
