Assessing the Grounds for Criminal Proceedings

at Al Nawras Intellectual Property

Certain acts of trade mark counterfeiting or other IP infringements may give rise to criminal liability where the legal requirements for an offence are met. We review the facts and available evidence, assess whether criminal proceedings are appropriate, and help manage the matter before the competent authorities through the proper legal process. We approach criminal proceedings as part of a wider enforcement strategy, taking into account the nature of the right, the extent of the harm, and the outcome the rights holder seeks to achieve.
