Intellectual Property
Our Intellectual Property practice provides comprehensive services for the protection, management, and enforcement of IP rights across the Sultanate of Oman. We advise on trademarks, patents, copyrights, industrial designs, and trade secrets, handling everything from initial registration through licensing and enforcement. Our team works closely with the Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Investment Promotion and understands the intricacies of the Omani IP legal framework and international treaties to which Oman is a party.
What We Do
Our Intellectual Property practice covers the full spectrum of IP matters in Oman. We assist clients with the registration and prosecution of trademarks, patents, industrial designs, and copyrights before the Intellectual Property Department of the Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Investment Promotion. We draft and negotiate IP licensing agreements, technology transfer agreements, and franchise arrangements. When clients' IP rights are infringed, we pursue enforcement actions through cease and desist procedures, customs recordation, and litigation before the Omani courts. Our team is well-versed in the Omani Industrial Property Rights Law (Royal Decree 67/2008), the Copyright and Related Rights Law (Royal Decree 65/2008), and Oman's obligations under TRIPS, the Paris Convention, and the Berne Convention. We also advise on trade secret protection, domain name disputes, and anti-counterfeiting strategies.
