Service Overview
Effective IP protection is only the starting point. Extracting value from those rights through licensing, technology transfer, collaborations, partnerships, data use, advertising, or market expansion requires a commercial strategy grounded in legal clarity and regional realities.
UTMPS supports global rights holders, investors, technology companies, brand owners, and individuals in structuring, negotiating, and optimising IP arrangements across the Middle East, South Asia, and Africa. We help clients unlock opportunities, mitigate transactional risk, and ensure that commercial activity aligns with both regulatory requirements and long-term rights protection.
Our team includes lawyers with engineering, scientific, biotechnology, and in-house IP management backgrounds, enabling us to engage with technical, commercial, and legal dimensions of commercialisation with equal depth.

How We’re Different
- Commercial thinking is embedded in every recommendation
We align IP decisions with business objectives—market entry, product launch sequencing, partnership strategy, valuation considerations, and competitive positioning.
- Technical and scientific depth supporting complex transactions
Our professionals include engineers, PhD scientists, and former in-house IP managers who understand the underlying technologies, R&D pathways, data structures, and regulatory constraints behind commercial deals.
- Cross-market insight for regional expansion
With teams across 20 jurisdictions, we help clients navigate ownership rules, regulatory barriers, exclusivity structures, compliance obligations, labelling requirements, and nuanced contractual constraints.
