ABU DHABI

The UAE Ministry of Economy (MoE) has signed a new cooperation agreement with the Korean Intellectual Property Office (Kipo) aimed towards improving the UAE’s patent system. The agreement falls within the framework of completion and implementation of the terms of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed by the two parties in October of last year, which looks to enhance the patent system in the UAE. The agreement was signed during the Emirati-Korean bilateral meeting that was held recently in Seoul by Mohammad Ahmad Bin Abdul Aziz Al Shehhi, MoE Under-Secretary for Economic Affairs, and Choi Dong Yu, General Commissioner of KIPO.
