Patent protection in the UAE is specialist technical and legal work.
Coutts coordinates the invention and commercial brief with appropriately qualified patent professionals for filing and prosecution. Coutts Consultants coordinates uae patent application coordination as a defined UAE professional-services engagement.
We begin by establishing the client's commercial objective and the correct federal, emirate, free-zone or financial-centre jurisdiction, then review invention, inventors, ownership, prior art, novelty, technical specification, claims, drawings, priority and filing strategy. The UAE is not a single generic company-formation market: licensing, premises, immigration, tax, banking and regulatory requirements vary materially by activity and authority. We therefore structure the engagement around the client's actual business and coordinate the appropriate authority, bank or specialist provider.
Reserved legal, tax, audit, immigration or regulated financial-services work is undertaken by appropriately qualified UAE professionals, and all licences, visas, accounts and regulatory approvals remain subject to the relevant authority or institution.
