Patent and licensing matters in Syria

How we help with patent and licensing matters

• Evidence and document review

  Our review covers patent or application references, ownership records, licence draft and a non-public technical comparison through an agreed secure channel. We identify what supports your position and what needs clarification or further evidence.

• Does a foreign patent or a similar product alone establish Syrian patent infringement?

  The published 2012 Law 18 ties the commercial counterfeit-product provision in Article 51 to a patent or utility model effective in Syria and addresses knowing commercial dealing. Verify the Syrian right, claims, validity and actual product or production process. Foreign registration and visual similarity alone do not answer those questions. Identify the patent, territory, status and relevant claims, then compare the proposed technology and licence terms. Review permitted fields, exclusivity, improvements, fees and termination. Avoid public disclosure of unpublished technical details while arranging a suitable confidential review.
