An intellectual property lawyer for the moments when rights are tested.
Registering a trademark or a patent is only the beginning. The real value of intellectual property is revealed when someone copies a product, imitates a brand, files a conflicting application or alleges that your own business has crossed a line. Those are the situations our practice is built for.
We focus on contentious intellectual property work in Iran: building and defending infringement claims, opposing and cancelling conflicting registrations, coordinating anti-counterfeiting action and addressing unfair competition. Our clients include international brand owners entering or already trading in the Iranian market, technology companies protecting inventions, and Iranian businesses defending what they have built.
Every matter begins with a frank assessment of the rights involved and the evidence available. From there we recommend the route most likely to achieve your objective, whether that is a firm letter, a negotiated settlement or formal proceedings.

When to call us
Situations we resolve every day
If one of these sounds familiar, a short conversation now usually saves considerable time and cost later.
- Copies of your product have appeared. Counterfeits or lookalikes are being sold in shops or online under your brand or something close to it.
- A competitor filed a similar trademark. A conflicting application threatens your brand and the opposition window is running.
- You received an infringement letter. Someone claims your product or name infringes their rights and demands that you stop.
- A former partner is using your brand. A distributor or agent has registered or continues to use your name without authority.
- Your invention is being exploited. A product on the market appears to reproduce the features of your patent.
