An intellectual property law practice built around disputes.

Why a contentious IP practice

Many advisers treat intellectual property as an administrative task: filing applications, paying renewals and keeping records. That work is essential, but it is not where rights are won or lost. Rights are tested when a competitor imitates a brand, when a product is copied, or when an accusation of infringement lands on a client's desk. Our practice is organised around those moments.

Because we concentrate on disputes, we approach every right with a litigator's eye. When we review a registration, we ask how it would stand up if challenged. When we look at an infringement, we ask what evidence a decision-maker would need to see. That perspective shapes our advice from the very first conversation.

Who we act for

• International brand owners whose trademarks are being infringed, counterfeited or registered by others in Iran
• Technology and manufacturing companies protecting patents and industrial designs
• Iranian businesses defending their brands and products against imitation
• Companies that have received infringement allegations and need a measured defence
• In-house legal teams and foreign law firms seeking a dependable partner for contentious IP matters in Iran

How we work

We keep our advice clear, candid and commercially grounded. You will receive a straightforward view of the strength of your position, the realistic outcomes and the costs and risks involved, in plain English. We would rather tell you early that a claim is weak than pursue it at your expense.

Confidentiality is central to everything we do. Disputes frequently involve unpublished products, commercial strategy and sensitive relationships, and we handle all of it with discretion.
