Company Details
Abu-Ghazaleh Intellectual Property (AGIP) is one of the most prominent specialized global companies in providing intellectual property protection services, with an experience of more than five decades.
Through a network of offices spreading worldwide, AGIP offers integrated solutions that include registration of trademarks, patents, and domain names, in addition to legal and technical consultations related to intellectual property, with a firm commitment to enhance the infrastructure of the intellectual property at the regional and international levels.
AGIP was established in Kuwait in 1972 under the name TMP Agents., at a time when the intellectual property protection systems in the Arab world were at their early stages back then. Ever since, AGIP continues to support and develop the intellectual property infrastructure at the regional and international levels.
In line with this goal, AGIP operates in close coordination with the Arab governments and multilateral organizations to develop an effective system for the protection of intellectual property rights and raise the awareness on the importance of intellectual property rights and enhance their enforcement mechanisms in the Arab countries.
Such development has effectively contributed to boosting the confidence of multinational companies in the regional market and encouraged them to expand their operations and make major investments in the region, driven by the reassurance stemming from the legal environment that provides proper protection for their intangible assets.
AGIP also provides technical and advisory support to legislative bodies and decision makers in many Arab countries, including Bahrain, Iraq, Lebanon, Yemen, Tunisia, and the UAE, by reviewing and updating the intellectual property rights legislation and their enforcement.
AGIP’s leadership role is further reinforced through its active participation in international and specialized organizations, such as the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), World Trade Organization (WTO), in addition to specialized non-government organizations, such as the International Trademark Association (INTA), International Association for the
Protection of Intellectual Property (AIPPI), and International Federation of Intellectual Property Attorneys (FICPI).
Through its offices spread worldwide, AGIP provides trademarks owners and legal companies with effective tools to manage and protect intellectual property rights registered with them, while reducing the administrative effort required. AGIP, moreover, facilitates the process of renewing trademarks, patents, domain names, and all related rights through its digital services that enable clients to follow up on the status of their rights and renew them easily online, without the need to paperwork, or to communicate through email or fax.
Through AGIP’s official website, law firms may manage the portfolios of their clients through a customized, comprehensive user interface. The intellectual property rights holders may manage their portfolios through their individual accounts easily and efficiently. AGIP is also distinguished by its provision of integrated digital solutions that enhance client’s experience while ensuring efficiency and accuracy in providing intellectual property rights. Among its prominent advantages:
