PATENT REGISTRATION SERVICES

Inventing something new, including a new process or a novel item is often the first step in developing a company and launching a brand-new opportunity for an individual or a group.

Each country is responsible for patent registration within its area. In the United Arab Emirates, patent registration is managed by the UAE Ministry of Economy, also known as MOE. Specifically, patents are managed by the Intellectual Property Protection Department, which is also the ministry and department which approves patents.

In the UAE, patents have to meet specific standards to be registered. They must meet the criteria of novelty, non-obviousness, and industrial applicability. In other words, the patent must be for something that is unique, inventive and also has an actual application within a specific industry or across more than one industry.

With a valid patent in place in the UAE, no other company may produce or copy the invention. This provides the opportunity for the inventory or the company assigned the rights to the invention to fully develop the invention and create a market for their product or service.
