The United Arab Emirates and the United States of America signed a Joint Statement of Intent
aimed at launching a bilateral cooperation programme to accelerate patent granting procedures
in the UAE. This took place on the sidelines of the 66th Assemblies of the Member States of the
World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO) in Geneva.

According to the joint statement, signed by the Ministry of Economy and Tourism and the United
States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), the programme provides collaborative
mechanisms to recognise positive examination results issued by the USPTO for corresponding
Emirati patent applications. This will be implemented in accordance with applicable national

laws.
