Dubai Customs launches movie award to raise awareness on Intellectual Property Rights
Dubai: Dubai Customs has launched its ‘IPR Movie Award’ for university students to raise awareness on Intellectual Property Rights (IPR).
Participation is open to all university students in the UAE. The ideas must be “genuine and new”, and in high resolution with clear sound. Dubai Customs will receive student projects from July 4.
He added: “The IPR Movie Award is the latest initiative that the IPR Department developed to encourage genuine creativity and raise awareness; thus, encouraging investors to spend on new products without being afraid of losing to illegitimate competition from counterfeiters.”
