Protecting and enforcing IP rights in Iran for international rights holders.
HENGAM is a full-service intellectual property and litigation firm in Tehran. We register trademarks, patents and designs, advise on IP transactions, and enforce rights before Iranian authorities and courts.
Trademarks & unfair competition
Clearance, filing, opposition and renewal — and action against imitation, passing off and unfair-competition practices.
Patents & utility models
Prosecution, portfolio strategy and PCT national-phase entry, for full patents and for the lower-threshold utility model.
Industrial design
Registration, prosecution and enforcement of product designs, with market monitoring to catch infringement early.
Trade secrets
Protection through contracts and internal policy, and rapid enforcement when confidential know-how is misappropriated.
IP transactions & due diligence
Licensing, assignment, and the IP side of M&A and investment — so the value of a right survives the deal.
Litigation & enforcement
Customs recordation, opposition and cancellation, and disputes before Iran’s specialized courts.
We wrote the Iran chapter on patent litigation.
