Statement by H.E. Ahmad bin Meshar Al Muhairi, SLC
Secretary General on World Intellectual Property Day
25 April 2025 - “World Intellectual Property Day is an opportunity to reaffirm the significance of empowering innovators
and creators by providing them with the tools and means needed to protect their intellectual property
rights — protection that plays a vital role in modern economic systems. In the UAE, intellectual property (IP) is key to
driving the growth of creative industries, enhancing the competitiveness of the national economy and fostering an
environment conducive to creativity and innovation across various fields.
The UAE remains committed to establishing legislative and regulatory frameworks that support this vital sector, while
providing innovators and inventors with all the enablers they need to unleash their full creative potential and develop
their projects, thereby reinforcing the UAE’s standing as a global destination for ambitious talent.
The country continues to launch pioneering initiatives and projects aimed at advancing the IP sector. These include a
new national IP ecosystem comprising 31 initiatives, designed to support innovation and creativity in line with
international best practices; the launch of the ‘Patent Incubator’ project to document the patent registration processes
across all emirates; and the establishment of a new green IP pathway to stimulate innovation in the fields of
environmental sustainability and the new economy.
At the Supreme legislation Committee in the Emirate of Dubai (SLC), we reaffirm our commitment to enhancing the
legislative framework for the protection of intellectual property rights in the UAE, in line with the national drive to foster a
creativity and innovation-driven business environment, contributing to increased competitiveness and the advancement
of sustainable development.”
