The Ministry of Economy launched a new roadmap for "Green Intellectual Property (IP)" designed to foster innovation, accelerate technology localisation, and develop new projects in the new economy, environmental sustainability, and circular economy. The three-month roadmap will strengthen the competitiveness of the UAE's IP landscape and contribute to its progress and prosperity, supporting the country's directives to transition to a circular economy. He added, "The new roadmap for Green IP is particularly important as it coincides with the launch of this year's Innovation Month. This framework encompasses the issuance of laws on the Protection of Industrial Property Rights, Trademarks, and Copyrights and Neighbouring Rights. The UAE is currently among the top countries globally in terms of IP and innovation, ranking first in the region in the Global Innovation Index (GII) 2024.
