NAS & Associates has acquired an International reputation in providing a full range of Intellectual Property services in Dubai & UAE Emirates, The following summaries, while not capturing the full scope of the firm’s work, offer a general view of the areas in which our firm practices. Areas of practice include:

* Intellectual Property

Another important aspect of business for corporations choosing to do business in the Middle East is intellectual property. Of course, each jurisdiction has its own regulations regarding trademarks and patents and our job at NAS & Associates is to advise our clients on these regulations.

Advice on these intellectual property matters includes searching, filing and renewing trademarks and trade names, obtaining patents and patent registrations and preventing the unauthorized use of client’s trademarks, trade names and patents. The firm advises on issues relating to various infringements, such as counterfeit and piracy, and on the means of remedying those infringements. Additionally, we advise companies and organizations on intellectual property rights obligation under the various multilateral agreements of WTO and WIPO and the compliance of the affected countries in the region.

 * Commercial Agencies and Franchising

In addition to the general corporate and commercial work that the firm practices in, we also offer our clients a more specialized emphasis in commercial agencies and franchising. We assist our clients by locating or providing background information on potential agents and, once the appropriate agent is found, by negotiating and drafting the agency and/or franchising agreements. More importantly, we provide our clients with advise on the ways and means of diluting the protections afforded to commercial agents by the laws of the various jurisdictions.
