WHO WE ARE

Saba & Co. Intellectual Property (Saba IP) was founded in 1926, at a time when the field of Intellectual Property Law, in the Middle East, was still in its infancy. As the region developed, the firm expanded, while never wavering from our commitment to serve you and safeguard your IP rights in the region.

Operating through an extensive network of branch and representative offices across the Middle East, Africa, and neighboring regions, we enjoy  the reputation of a leading service provider.

 

We are active in all areas of prosecution, registration, and enforcement of intellectual property rights, and provide a full range of related legal and paralegal services.

While protecting your intellectual property is our primary concern,   we also aim to maximize the value of your brands and inventions.

Our Values

Our core values define who we are, what we do, and how we do it. They shape the way we conduct our work, how we interact with our colleagues and associates, and how we develop our strategies.  Simply speaking, our core values are:  

Integrity,  Human Capital,  Commitment, Accountability, Results-oriented and Excellence.

Our History

Saba IP has been catering to clients since the firm’s establishment in 1926. Today, we maintain our position as one of the top regional intellectual property firms.
