including the introduction of a programme that will accelerate the registration of patents related to sustainable

technologies and eco-friendly innovations. The aim is to raise the percentage of patent registrations for
sustainable and environmental innovations to eight per cent of the total number of patent registrations in the

country.
Furthermore, it will strengthen the legal frameworks for protecting patents related to environmental

sustainability, particularly given the continued growth in the number of patent applications submitted in the

country, which reached approximately 3,622 in 2024.
Al Saleh emphasised the UAE's accomplishments in establishing a robust and competitive legislative

framework to foster the growth of this crucial sector. This framework encompasses the issuance of laws on

the Protection of Industrial Property Rights, Trademarks, and Copyrights and Neighbouring Rights.
The UAE is currently among the top countries globally in terms of IP and innovation, ranking first in the region

in the Global Innovation Index (GII) 2024.
