GENEVA, 10th July, 2024 (WAM) -- Abdullah bin Touq Al Marri,

Minister of Economy, led the UAE delegation participating in the 65th
session of the Assemblies of the World Intellectual Property
Organisation (WIPO) member states, which began at the
Organisation's headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland, and runs until
17th July.

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, 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
and building distinct partnerships with leading IP institutions and
ecosystem stakeholders at the local, regional and global levels.
