MoU signed with Japan to promote cooperation and exchange of experiences in intellectual

property applications.

H.E. Abdulla bin Touq Al Marri, Minister of Economy, led the UAE delegation participating in the
65th session of the Assemblies of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) member

states, which began at the Organization’s headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland, and runs until
July 17.

H.E. Bin Touq confirmed that the UAE, in line with its wise leadership’s vision, continues to
develop its intellectual property (IP) sector in accordance with global best practices,

considering it a fundamental pillar in promoting the national economy’s growth. As a result, the
UAE provides an incubating environment for IP, innovation and patent activities in accordance

with global best practices, in addition to enablers and facilities that support the growth of
knowledge-based enterprises, innovation and R&D.

In his speech at the session, H.E. Bin Touq reviewed key developments in the UAE’s IP

landscape and achievements in IP rights protection. The country has succeeded in building a
comprehensive and sophisticated legislative environment to protect IP rights of creators and
innovators and stimulate original thought and innovation in all fields. Also notable is the

promulgation of an array of supportive legislation such as the Trademark Law, the Copyright
and Neighboring Rights Law and the Industrial Property Rights Regulation and Protection Law
