IP transactions and due diligence touching Iran.
IP is only as valuable as the paperwork behind it. We draft the agreements that move rights cleanly, and run the diligence that tells you what you are really buying.
Overview
IP is only as valuable as the paperwork behind it. We draft the agreements that move rights cleanly across borders and run the diligence that tells you what you are really acquiring.
Deals touching Iran carry an extra layer: chain-of-title must be recorded correctly with the Iranian office, and structures must be built with sanctions exposure in mind. We coordinate the legal and the practical so a licence, assignment, or acquisition holds up later.
What we do
Practising this in Iran
Recordal and formalities in Iran are unforgiving — an assignment that is valid on paper can fail to bind third parties if it is not recorded properly. Our diligence and drafting are built around what the local register actually requires.
Common questions
Why does IP due diligence in Iran need local counsel?
Because ownership, validity, and encumbrances turn on the Iranian register and Persian-language records that foreign databases do not capture. We verify them at source.
Can I license or assign IP into or out of Iran?
Generally yes, with careful structuring. We draft the agreement and handle recordal, and we flag sanctions and currency considerations that can affect enforceability.
What does a portfolio audit cover?
Status, ownership, deadlines, and gaps across your Iranian rights — so you know what you hold, what is at risk, and what to prune.
