UAE Grants Letters Patent

14 Mar 2006
DUBAI - The Patent Office in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has officially started on March 1, 2006 granting Letters Patent for pending applications after being examined and published according to a Tuesday press release by Abu-Ghazaleh Intellectual Property (AGIP).
AGIP is the first intellectual property firm to receive Letters Patent for their accepted applications in the UAE.
The Office started receiving patent applications in early 1994, but without conducting any examination for such applications. In 2002, the Office started examining pending applications on chronological basis (first -filed, first-examined), in coordination with the Austrian Patent Office.
The applicable procedure is to publish the accepted patent applications in the Patent Journal and to give a 60-day period for any third party during which he can oppose the application. In the absence of opposition, a Letters Patent is issued.
According to Article (4) of the UAE Patent Law, a Letters Patent shall be awarded to any new invention resulting from an innovative idea or inventive step in all fields of technology, provided that such an idea or inventive step has a scientific basis and is capable of industrial application.
AGIP is the leading regional firm for global IPR services, providing
IPR protection, domain name registration, portfolio management,
infringement watch and legal representation.
AGIP operates out of its regional office in Amman (Jordan) and its 30
fully owned offices covering all the Arab region, Pakistan, India and
Turkey. AGIP covers the globe through its liaison offices in the US,
Canada, Europe and China as well as its worldwide network of 150
correspondents.
