M&H offers product consultation services to its Pakistani clients and to its foreign clients planning to introduce a product in Pakistan.

We advise our clients on the best practical strategies to protect their key intellectual assets, to evaluate litigation risks and, where possible, to avoid conflicts with the intellectual property rights of others. When a potential dispute does arise, we offer counseling regarding available dispute resolution mechanisms and strategies. M&H can also assist organizations in maintaining internal practices and policies that maximize the return on intellectual property investments while minimizing the risk of unwanted legal disputes.

Our deep understanding of patents, trademarks, copyrights and the procedures for obtaining and enforcing these assets, permits us to approach each IP transaction with unique insights regarding the scope and value of the asset involved and the benefits and potential pitfalls of various transaction structures. M&H provides complete range of services in this regard, including structuring transactions, drafting/vetting the agreements and getting the same registered with concerned authorities.
