Protecting ideas. Building trust.
About our firm
Founded in 1926, Saba IP is one of the leading intellectual property firms in the Middle East and North Africa. For a century, we have helped businesses protect and grow what they have built: their brands, their inventions, and their ideas, across the region.
From 15 offices across the region, we deliver unified, cross-border IP services grounded in deep local knowledge and supported by centralized coordination. Multinational corporations, regional businesses, international law firms, and public institutions work with us as a single, trusted partner to manage complex portfolios across diverse jurisdictions.
Our Journey
Since 1926, Saba IP has stood alongside its clients, growing with them across generations. That same commitment continues today, shaping relationships and partnerships built to last well into the next century.
In 1926, Fuad Saba established Saba & Co. at a time when formal systems for protecting trademarks and inventions were still taking shape across the region. He saw early on that businesses would need more than informal arrangements, they would need structure, continuity, and protection for what they were building. What started as a focused effort to secure and maintain those rights steadily grew into a regional practice, managing intellectual property across multiple jurisdictions.
