United Arab Emirates IP updates
Several IP-related developments have recently taken place in the United Arab Emirates. In what has been a long-awaited development, the United Arab Emirates has acceded to the Madrid Protocol. In addition, the submission of an expert report upon the filing of an IP claim has been mandated in Dubai. Finally, Federal Law No. 11 of 2021 is due to come into effect in November 2021, replacing the 2006 IP law.
