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.”
