Intellectual Property in Sharjah
Intellectual property is protected under federal UAE law, so a trademark, patent, design or copyright registered through the Ministry of Economy is protected in Sharjah as across the country. For Sharjah's manufacturers, traders and its well-known publishing and media sector, protecting brands, designs and content early is essential.
We handle clearance and registration of trademarks and designs, patent and copyright protection, licensing and assignment, and enforcement against infringement and counterfeiting through administrative action, the courts and customs recordal. We also advise on IP in transactions and on holding IP within a group structure.
