Al Muhairi, SLC Secretary General on

World Intellectual Property Day

April 25, 2025 10

“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.

Advertise here.

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.
