Protecting confidential know-how in Iran.

Some of the most valuable know-how is never registered. We build the contracts and policies that protect it — and move quickly when it is taken.

Overview

Some of the most valuable know-how is never registered. We build the contracts and policies that protect confidential information, and we move quickly when it is taken.

Trade-secret protection in Iran rests on contract, employment practice, and unfair-competition principles rather than a registry. That makes the groundwork — NDAs, employee IP terms, and internal controls — decisive long before any dispute arises.

Practising this in Iran

Because there is no register to fall back on, protection depends on showing the information was genuinely secret and reasonably guarded. We help you build that record now, so enforcement is possible later.

Common questions

How are trade secrets protected without registration?

Through confidentiality agreements, employment and contractor terms, internal controls, and unfair-competition and misappropriation actions. We put the framework in place and enforce it.

An employee left with our know-how — what now?

Move fast. We pursue misappropriation actions and, where available, injunctive or provisional relief to contain the harm while the case proceeds.

Do our foreign NDAs work in Iran?

They can, but often need adaptation to be enforceable locally and in Persian. We review and localise them.
