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.

The signing 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 UAE 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. The procedure will be

implemented in accordance with applicable national laws.
