“Trust, Consistency and Commitment is Who We Are"

As advocated by our Managing Partner, Mr. Abdel Wahab Moustafa, Our roots date back to 1949, our firm has established itself as a pioneer in Intellectual & Industrial Property Rights law.

  • 6000 B.C. to Present

    Egypt, boasting a population exceeding 100 million, emerges as an expanding market that attracts the interest of global investors. In this context, intellectual property has emerged as a pivotal concern in Egypt, necessitating the establishment and reinforcement of a robust legal framework in this sphere.

  • 1949-1982

    Our esteemed firm stands as a beacon of trust, consistency, and commitment in the realm of intellectual property rights. Our journey, deeply rooted in a rich heritage and a legacy of excellence, began in 1949 when our founder, Mohamed Bakir, laid the foundation of what was initially known as MOHAMED BAKIR OFFICE. This pioneering establishment was the precursor to our current professional business corporation, which has continued to serve the interests of our clients with unwavering dedication.

  • 1982-2009

    The baton of leadership and innovation was passed on to Mona Bakir, under whose guidance the office was established in Zamalek in 1982. Mona Bakir not only continued the legacy of her father but also expanded the firm's horizons to the international community. Her efforts were instrumental in securing a renowned status for the firm and ensuring that the name MONA BAKIR OFFICE became synonymous with excellence in the field of intellectual property rights.

  • 2009-Today

    In July 2009, a significant milestone was achieved with the establishment of Maddock & Bright IP Law Firm (Professional Corporation), which officially began its operations on January 1st, 2010. This transition marked a new era for our firm, one that was characterized by a commitment to sustainable development and stability. Our new name signified not just a change in identity but a reaffirmation of our dedication to serving our clients with the highest standards of professionalism and expertise.

This understanding has driven us to continuously review and enhance our services, ensuring that we remain at the forefront of the intellectual property rights field.
