UAE boosts intellectual property protection to drive innovation, economic competitiveness: SLC official
The United Arab Emirates is committed to strengthening intellectual property (IP) protection as a cornerstone of its innovation-driven economic agenda, the Secretary General of Dubai's Supreme Legislation Committee (SLC) said on Friday. In a statement marking World Intellectual Property Day, Ahmad bin Meshar Al Muhairi said empowering creators and innovators through robust IP frameworks is essential to enhancing the UAE's competitiveness and reinforcing its position as a global hub for talent. 'World Intellectual Property Day is an opportunity to reaffirm the significance of empowering innovators and creators by providing them with the tools and means needed to protect their intellectual property rights — protection that plays a vital role in modern economic systems,' Al Muhairi said. He added that IP is central to the growth of the UAE's creative industries and that the country is working to establish legislative and regulatory systems that support this sector. Recent efforts include the rollout of a new national IP ecosystem comprising 31 initiatives aligned with international best practices, the launch of a 'Patent Incubator' project to document patent registration processes across all emirates, and the establishment of a green IP pathway aimed at stimulating innovation in environmental sustainability and the new economy. 'At the Supreme Legislation Committee in the Emirate of Dubai, we reaffirm our commitment to enhancing the legislative framework for the protection of intellectual property rights in the UAE,' Al Muhairi said, noting that these reforms support the broader national vision of fostering a creativity- and innovation-driven business environment.
