2/24/25, 9:29 AM UAE launches new roadmap for ‘Green Intellectual Property’ to drive innovation
Furthermore, he highlighted the new roadmap's key objectives that the Ministry seeks to accomplish,
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.
