In the current competitive commercial environment, safeguarding your intellectual property is crucial to preserving your business standing, brand recognition, and leadership in innovation. When your IP rights are violated, it is necessary to take prompt and thoughtful legal action.

Sadany & Partners Law Firm was established in Riyadh as one of the top legal firms in the capital of the Kingdom. It provides end-to-end and strategic IP litigation services to assist companies, investors, and artists in protecting and applying their intellectual property rights across the Kingdom.

The Importance of IP Litigation in Saudi Arabia

The Government of Saudi Arabia conducted many reforms to reinforce safeguarding intellectual property rights, including:

  • Establishment of the Saudi Authority for Intellectual Property (SAIP) to control the enforcement of IP rights.
  • The Kingdom's leading membership in major international conventions, such as the Paris Convention, the Berne Convention, the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT), and the Madrid Protocol.
  • The reforms that have been conducted lately in the legal system and courts in order to resolve IP disputes, including the establishment of specialized commercial courts.

Despite these overhauls, the violation of intellectual property (IP), including trademark forgery, infringement of patents and copyrights, and trade secrets, remains a significant problem in the market.

Therefore, IP litigation is significant to:

  • Cease the violation and unpermitted use of your IP.
  • Acquire a physical compensation for the losses and damages caused to you.
  • Obtain injunctive relief and court orders to prevent any other exploitation, safeguard your brand recognition and market share, and reinforce your standing in licensing and commercial negotiations.

At Sadany & Partners, we don't aim only to safeguard your intellectual property rights but also to defend them vigorously when they are at risk.
