talented individuals. Additionally, the UAE has enacted three comprehensive laws that are

specifically designed to regulate and protect intellectual property rights. These are: the law on
the regulation and protection of industrial property rights, the law on trademarks, and another

one on copyright and neighbouring rights.

The Ministry of Economy had launched a new comprehensive intellectual property system in

February 2024. This system includes 11 initiatives that cover all intellectual property

applications, in line with the UAE’s vision to transition into an innovative and knowledge-

based economic model, as well as promote research and development.

The Ministry of Economy has made great strides in its efforts to regulate the issuance of

patents, improving its efficacy in attracting talents and creators of ideas and fostering
scientific research. As part of its new system, the Ministry launched the Patent Hive initiative,

which aims to increase the rate of patent approvals and stimulate innovation by offering

support to inventors and talented individuals seeking patents within the country. The initiative
has set a target of reaching 6,000 new patent registrations by 2026 through collaboration with

research and academic institutions. Additionally, it seeks to raise awareness on the

significance of documenting ideas and inventions.
