Protection We Secure
The four rights that protect a brand in Jordan.
Trademarks
Word marks, logos, and trade dress are registered with the Industrial Property Protection Directorate on a first-to-file basis. Elite handles clearance searches, filing, examination responses, oppositions, and renewals, building a portfolio that scales as you add classes and markets.
Patents
Patents protect new, inventive, and industrially applicable technology. Elite advises on patentability, drafting, and filing through the national route, and on keeping inventions confidential until rights are secured.
Industrial Designs
Industrial design rights protect the visual appearance of a product, its shape, pattern, and ornamentation. Registration secures exclusivity against copying and is a fast, cost-effective complement to trademark and patent protection.
Copyright
Copyright protects original creative work, content, designs, software, packaging, and campaigns, generally from the moment of creation. Elite advises on ownership, licensing, recordal where available, and cross-border enforcement.
