Intellectual property is more than an asset—it’s a catalyst for growth, partnerships, and international expansion. At Kayrouz & Associates, we support clients in structuring and negotiating licensing and technology transfer agreements that maximise commercial value while ensuring enforceability and legal clarity.
We advise on both inbound and outbound licensing strategies, covering trademarks, patents, know-how, and software rights. Whether our clients are tech startups, research institutions, or multinationals, we tailor agreements to reflect local IP law, industry norms, and commercial objectives.
Our lawyers also assist with franchise models, joint development agreements, and the localisation of foreign technology for use in the UAE and GCC. We mitigate risk through precise drafting and negotiate clauses on exclusivity, territorial scope, royalties, and dispute resolution mechanisms.
When disputes arise over licensing terms or unauthorised use, we provide strategic enforcement support across courts and arbitration forums.
We offer legal advice on a wide spectrum of matters:
- Drafting and negotiating IP licensing agreements
- Structuring technology transfer and collaboration deals
- Advising on royalty models, payment terms, and restrictions
- Reviewing IP clauses in franchise and joint venture agreements
- Ensuring compliance with UAE and international IP law
- Advising on cross-border licensing and export control issues
- Enforcement of licensing terms and breach remedies
