2/24/25, 9:31 AM UAE launches new roadmap for 'Green Intellectual Property' to drive innovation - www.lokmattimes.com
The Undersecretary continued, "This roadmap plays a vital role in fostering innovation

and creativity in sustainable sectors, bolstering the UAE's competitiveness and elevating

its standing in key global indicators, particularly in the Global Innovation Index (GII),
where the UAE consistently maintains its regional and international prominence year

after year."

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. (ANI/WAM)
