Recently At The Sixty-Sixth Series Of Meetings Of WIPO In Geneva, The UAE’s Ministry Of Economy And Tourism Signed Two
Important Memoranda Of Understanding (MoUs). These MoUs, Inked With The Spanish Patent And Trademark Office And The
Moroccan Industrial And Commercial Property Office, Aim To Build Stronger International Cooperation On Intellectual Property (IP)
In The UAE. The Agreements Were Signed In The Presence Of Abdullah Bin Touq Al Marri, The UAE’s Minister Of Economy And
Tourism.
Focused On Best Practices And Global Standards

The Primary Goal Of These Agreements Is To Align The UAE’s IP Systems With International Best Practices. The UAE Has Made
IP A Strategic Priority In Its Economic Roadmap, Including Policies To Attract Global Investment And Innovation. By Partnering With
Spain And Morocco—Countries Known For Their Advanced IP Systems—The UAE Aims To Accelerate Its Own Standards And
Procedures To Be Fully Up To International Levels.
Digital Transformation Of IP Processes

A Major Component Of The MoUs Is Digital Transformation. The Agreements Show The Nations’ Intent To Share Knowledge
On Modern Digital Platforms, Ensuring That IP Processes Become Faster, More Transparent, And Efficient. A Key Target Is To
Move Away From Paper-Based Patent Applications And Toward Fully Digital Processes. This May Include Shared Access To
Portugal’s Or EU Systems, Automated Workflows, And Online Document Verification.
