Statement by H.E. Ahmad Saeed bin Meshar Al

Muhairi SLC Secretary General on World

Intellectual Property Day

25 April 2024: “Ensuring the protection of intellectual property is a crucial factor in fostering
innovation, inspiring human creativity, advancing research and development, and bolstering the
foundations of a knowledge-based economy. In this context, World Intellectual Property Day serves
as a significant occasion to emphasise the importance of providing all means of support and
motivation to innovators and creators, foremost of which is protection against infringements upon
their intellectual property rights.

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) stands as a leading example of adopting an effective approach to
safeguarding intellectual property rights. The UAE is committed to creating a nurturing environment
for innovation and creativity, backed by robust legal and legislative frameworks that are inclusive,
agile, and progressive. The UAE’s intellectual property legislation is a testament to its commitment to
protecting intellectual property and empowering innovation. This legislation ensures comprehensive
protection of all rights related to intellectual property, including Industrial Property Rights, Copyrights
and Neighbouring Rights, and Trademarks; and plays a crucial role in cultivating a culture of
intellectual property protection.

On this occasion, the Supreme Legislation Committee in the Emirate of Dubai (SLC) reaffirms its
dedication and resolve to continue contributing to the enhancement and reinforcement of a
legislative ecosystem conducive to intellectual property protection in the UAE, and to promoting the
ambitious national vision for a business community driven by intellectual creativity and scientific
innovation.”
