From the first glance to the nature of mutual commercial relations between individuals and companies, whether large or small, it can be noticed that they suffer from animosity which can be sensed when another company has a similar name and whose commercial title has become unwanted and defective.
The commercial title property has been maintained by the code of commerce for the merchant from any abuse or violation. This means that a merchant cannot use the title of another merchant which had been registered by its owner in the commercial register for the same trade executed thereby. However, the negative aspect is that a vegetable merchant may use the name of a luxurious hotel.
Whereas the commercial title of a merchant is considered a financial right that can be used, the use thereof by others is a violation of this right. The commercial title has a financial value included within the company budget and this title represents a large number in the budget and affects profits.
In return, the commercial title is not the only right that can be violated. Violation can occur on intellectual property rights that result from the administrative cadre of the company concerning its activities. It also represents a special innovation that attracts attention and helps the company achieve high ranks and acquire high fame concerning inventions to reach huge companies. Tangible and famous examples in the creativity world show that many companies were barely known a few years ago. Then, they launched their creativity and several creations, which acquired a high rank amongst international companies whose budgets exceed nine digits.
All what was state above can be lost and can slip into the fingers of those seizing the opportunity, thus annulling all the efforts of small or medium sized companies. These companies can feel that all their efforts and creative ideas and products were claimed by competitive companies that used their commercial titles, creative ideas or inventions and acquired an artistic or financial fortune which they could not have achieved had the company, owner of the said features and creations, not failed.
The creative idea that seemed small is only a gem that need protection from any violation. Its property can be proven through a protection fence that was provided by the law. This protection has a mechanism that is provided by law firms with a scientific approach and high efficiency.
During its establishment, (Al Thiqa) set forth a basis for intellectual property, patent, and title protection. Its office includes highly experienced and skills individuals not only in the field of protection using certificates issued by the state body in countries where protection is required, but through the accurate follow up of the continuity of protection using effective supervision in markets and presenting reports to companies owning the advanced creation. Then, it thwarts the parties seeking to violate the property through filing claims that stop such violation before binding these violating parties to pay due compensation.
The serious countries have stood firmly with the victim company or merchant by protecting the trademark or any other creation that is distinct and takes the form of names, works or signs used for differentiating a product, merchandise or service from another. It is known that in the law, the commercial title is the title given by the merchant to its shop or the creative manufacturer of the plant and production to protect itself and its clients who trust it. The above is the concept followed by Al Thiqa Office to combat any violation that our clients may face.
The Al Thiqa Office has prepared the local capacities to protect different intellectual and author rights and prepared a special mechanism for issuing the protection deed as well as the patent and other marks. It has set forth a foundation for connecting the commercial titles and others to the agency acquired by the delegating company. Al Thiqa Office also provides the necessary consultation and presents its opinion to complete and allow protection of the local agent in cooperation with the principal to prove its rights in the Kuwaiti market and other markets in cooperation with the associate firms in the Gulf, the region or other locations. Companies dealing with Al Thiqa Office shall be able to experience the revenue of this protection, stability and peace of mind concerning the property indicated above and represented in patents, trademarks, signs, drawings, industrial samples, and copyrights in the intellectual and other art fields.
