What is Intellectual Property in Saudi Arabia?
Intellectual Property (IP) defines legal rights accorded to individuals or corporations over their work. In Saudi Arabia, the regulation of IP is under the Saudi Authority for Intellectual Property (SAIP), and it entails protection for:
- Trademarks
- Patents
- Copyrights
- Industrial Designs
- Trade Secrets
Such protection allows innovators, creators, and entrepreneurs to derive commercial advantage from their unique ideas and inventions while discouraging unauthorized use or infringement.
