Elements of Invention Eligibility for a Patent
To register a patent, you must establish the innovation is actually new (not previously published or publicly used), includes a non-obvious inventive step for someone specialized in the field, and is capable of actual industrial application, not just a theoretical idea.
Prior Art Search Before Applying
We conduct a precise search of globally published prior art before applying for a patent, ensuring your innovation actually meets the novelty requirement, since this prior search saves you from later application rejection after investing time and effort preparing the file.
Precisely Drafting Patent Claims
We help you draft patent claims precisely defining the protection scope broadly enough to protect your innovation, but precise enough to overcome the patent examiner's objections at the competent authority.
Application and Examination Procedures Before the Competent Authority
We follow the complete application procedure before the Saudi Authority for Intellectual Property, from submitting the application to responding to any technical observations the examiner raises during the application's substantive examination stage.
Patents for Industrial Businesses
Jubail and Dammam's industrial businesses often develop innovative processes or equipment deserving patent protection, and we help them identify registerable innovations within their daily operational processes.
Protecting Industrial Designs and Models
Alongside patents, we help you protect industrial designs and the aesthetic form of products, protection different from a patent but important for protecting your products' distinctive visual form.
Licensing and Commercially Exploiting the Patent
We help you draft licensing agreements allowing another party to commercially exploit your patent for fees, achieving additional income from your innovation without relinquishing basic ownership.
Pursuing Patent Infringement
We help you pursue any party using your protected innovation without a license, through takedown notices and civil lawsuits for damage compensation resulting from this infringement of your exclusive rights.
International Patent Registration
We help companies wishing to protect their innovations outside the Kingdom understand available international registration paths, including coordinating with patent offices in target countries to ensure comprehensive protection for your innovation.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my innovation meets the novelty requirement for registration?
We conduct a precise search of globally published prior art to confirm no similar innovation was previously published, before applying.
We developed innovative industrial equipment in our factory. Does it deserve patent registration?
We help you assess this innovation against novelty, inventive step, and industrial applicability elements to determine its registration eligibility.
What's the difference between a patent and industrial design protection?
A patent protects the innovation's technical function, while an industrial design protects the product's aesthetic form, and we help you determine suitable protection for your case.
We want to license our patent to another company for commercial exploitation. How do we protect our rights?
We help you draft a licensing agreement precisely defining the permitted exploitation scope and duration, while preserving your basic patent ownership.
We discovered a company using our patented innovation without a license. What are our options?
We help you act with a formal notice first, while assessing the possibility of a civil lawsuit for compensation if the infringement continues.
How long does examining a patent application usually take?
It varies with the innovation's complexity and the number of examiner technical observations, and we follow up with you responding to any observations to speed up procedures as much as possible.
We want to protect our innovation in markets outside the Kingdom too. How do we start?
We help you understand available international registration paths, coordinating with patent offices in target countries for comprehensive protection.
