Intellectual Property |
ASAR has an extensive Intellectual Property
practice. It is paramount to procure and protect
intellectual property rights in Kuwait for foreign entities
and locals alike. We assist our clients with trademark
searches, challenges and applications. We help our clients
stop infringements before they happen through the filing of
oppositions. Through the Kuwaiti Courts we have obtained
civil relief for our clients as well as assisted in
successful criminal prosecutions for trademark
infringements. We also assist clients with applications for,
and protections of their copyrighted works.
Applications for patents are accepted in Kuwait, though as
yet, no patents have been issued. The filing for a patent in
Kuwait does create a priority right, and we have assisted
our clients in securing “their place in line” should the
Kuwaiti Patent Office issue approvals and registrations of
patents in the future. Industrial designs also cannot
progress past the application stage at this time in Kuwait.
In these instances we work with our clients to protect their
rights to the extent possible in this developing area of the
law.
