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
