The forum discussed several topics related to the UAE’s video games industry, including

the key role of IP in developing this fast-growing sector, and how national regulations and
policies governing the sector should keep up with the rapid pace of technological

advancements.

Furthermore, it explored the distribution and digital marketing agreements, licenses needed
to access international markets, the monetization of intangible assets, the means

to address copyright violations in video games, and the role of AI and its impact on future

innovations in the industry.

UAE provides an incubating ecosystem for innovation and creativity

The UAE has successfully established an incubating environment for innovation and

creativity through the introduction of several policies and regulations and has positioned

itself as a regional and international hub for pioneering projects and innovative ideas. The
number of software classifications of computer programs and games registered in the

country currently total 1,610, and the Ministry saw a 9.6 per cent increase in trademark

applications in 2023 compared to that of 2022, and a 29.5 per cent rise in the registration
of intellectual works.
