Intellectual Property

At A&CO, we recognise that intellectual property is one of the most valuable assets a business or individual can own. Protecting these rights is essential to maintaining competitive advantage, brand identity, and long-term innovation. Our dedicated IP team provides comprehensive support across all aspects of intellectual property law, ensuring your creations, inventions, and trademarks are fully safeguarded under Omani law and international standards.

Our IP services include:

• Registration & Protection
  We manage the end-to-end process for registering trademarks, patents, copyrights, and industrial designs. This includes conducting availability searches, preparing and submitting applications, liaising with the Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Investment Promotion (MoCIIP), and ensuring your IP rights are formally granted and properly maintained.
  
  
• IP Dispute Resolution
  We represent clients in a wide range of IP disputes, whether involving infringement, unauthorised use, unlawful registration or breach of licensing terms. Our team is experienced in handling matters before the Ministry of Commerce, administrative bodies, and the courts. We are committed to enforcing your rights and protecting your interests through negotiation, administrative action, or litigation where necessary.
  
  
• Strategic Advisory
  Our firm provides tailored legal advice to help clients maximise the value of their IP assets. This includes drafting and reviewing licensing agreements, IP assignments, franchise agreements, and trade secrets protection. We ensure that your valuable intellectual property, including confidential information and proprietary data, is properly safeguarded and leveraged for business success.
