GENEVA, 14th July, 2025 (WAM) -- The Ministry of Economy and Tourism has signed two
Memoranda of Understanding with the Spanish Patent and Trademark Office and the Moroccan
Industrial and Commercial Property Office, aimed at strengthening cooperation in the development
of intellectual property (IP) in the UAE in line with international best practices.

The MoUs were signed in the presence of Abdullah bin Touq Al Marri, Minister of Economy and
Tourism, during the UAE delegation’s participation in the Sixty-Sixth Series of Meetings of the
Assemblies of the Member States of the World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO) in Geneva.

The agreements cover several strategic areas, including digital transformation, talent development,
and enhanced coordination in industrial property and patent registration. They also seek to harness
advanced technologies, such as artificial intelligence, to support patent search and classification
processes.

Minister bin Touq highlighted the UAE’s continued commitment to building a comprehensive IP
ecosystem and fostering global partnerships. He noted that collaboration with Spain and Morocco
represents a significant milestone in exchanging technical knowledge, streamlining registration
procedures, and adopting modern compliance standards.
