Saudi Arabia’s Public Prosecution has authorized the formation of the Intellectual Property Prosecution, as reported by the Saudi Press Agency on Wednesday. This development aligns with the National Intellectual Property Strategy introduced by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, which aims to improve judicial services related to intellectual property issues by establishing a more advanced framework. The new organization will handle investigations and legal actions in cases concerning infringements of intellectual property rights specified in the Kingdom’s trademark law, copyright protection law, and laws regarding patents, layout designs of integrated circuits, plant varieties, and industrial designs. It will consist of a team of expert public prosecutors who have undergone specialized training to effectively address violations of intellectual property rights.
