Patents and utility models, prosecuted and defended in Iran.
We help innovators secure the right form of protection — full patents where the invention earns them, and faster utility models where it does not.
Overview
Not every invention deserves the same protection. We help innovators choose between a full patent, where the inventive step earns it, and a faster, lower-cost utility model where it does not — then prosecute the application to grant and keep it in force.
Most foreign patents reach Iran through the PCT national phase. We manage entry, translation strategy, and claim drafting for an examiner working in Persian, and we defend granted rights against invalidation while advising on freedom to operate before you commit to a market.
What we do
Practising this in Iran
Iranian patent practice rewards precise translation and well-scoped claims; a claim set that reads cleanly in English can narrow or fail once rendered into Persian. We draft and review with that in mind, and we handle annuities so a right is never lost to a missed deadline.
Common questions
What is the difference between a patent and a utility model in Iran?
A patent protects inventions that are new, involve an inventive step, and are industrially applicable, for a longer term. A utility model offers shorter, faster protection at a lower threshold — useful for incremental or short-life innovations.
How do I bring my PCT application into Iran?
By entering the national phase within the prescribed deadline. We file the Persian translation, pay the fees, and manage prosecution through to grant.
Can someone challenge my granted patent?
Yes — through an invalidation action, typically on novelty or inventive-step grounds. We both bring and defend these before the specialist courts.
