IP Law

All companies rely on intellectual property to secure their competitive edge—whether through a brand, product, or breakthrough innovation. At MAR Law, we help clients protect, manage, and enforce their IP rights across key markets. From registration to dispute resolution, our regional team delivers tailored legal support to ensure your intellectual assets are safeguarded and fully leveraged for growth.

Trademarks

We assist clients in registering and protecting their trademarks, including names, logos, and taglines, with relevant UAE and international authorities. Our services include trademark clearance, filing, renewal, and enforcement. Whether you’re launching a new brand or expanding into new markets, we ensure your trademarks are secure and your brand is protected from misuse or infringement.

Copyright

Our copyright services cover the registration and protection of original works—ranging from software and written content to visual designs and media. We help clients secure ownership, draft and negotiate licensing agreements, and respond to infringements. Our lawyers also craft robust Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) to protect creative and proprietary work shared with partners, investors, or contractors.

Patents

We guide innovators through the complex process of patent registration and protection, ensuring inventions and technical solutions are legally secured. MAR Law also advises on patent licensing, technology transfers, and IP due diligence. Our enforcement services cover cease-and-desist actions, litigation, and arbitration, helping clients defend their inventions locally and across borders
