IP litigation

Intellectual property disputes often involve high commercial stakes, fast-moving developments, and cross-border implications. At Kayrouz & Associates, we provide decisive, technically sound litigation support to protect our clients’ IP assets and commercial interests.

Practice Overview

IP litigation demands both legal precision and a deep understanding of the underlying technologies, creative works, or brand value at stake. At Kayrouz & Associates, we represent clients across a wide spectrum of industries in enforcing and defending their intellectual property rights.

We handle complex disputes involving copyright, trademarks, patents, trade secrets, and unfair competition. Whether the matter concerns online infringement, counterfeit goods, licensing breaches, or technology misappropriation, our lawyers act swiftly to secure remedies through injunctions, damages, and negotiated outcomes.

Our team combines litigation skill with commercial sensibility. We tailor our legal strategies to align with business goals, market timing, and reputation management. We also coordinate with local authorities, customs officials, and regulators in seizing infringing products or enforcing court orders.

Given the international nature of many IP matters, we assist with cross-border litigation, jurisdictional strategy, and enforcement of foreign judgments. We are particularly experienced in coordinating UAE-based actions with international proceedings.

We offer legal advice on a wide spectrum of matters:

  • Content creators and technology developers
  • Media, fashion, and luxury brands
  • Pharmaceutical and medical device companies
  • Startups and IP holders in licensing disputes
  • Clients in customs seizures and counterfeit enforcement
  • Parties in breach of confidentiality and non-disclosure litigation
