International Offices

The Justice Agency for Intellectual Property works to register intellectual property rights in its records and the records of the competent departments in all countries of the world at the local and international levels.

Interconnectedness

The Justice Agency for Intellectual Property relied on international offices spread throughout the world, linked to a unified database, to carry out its work tasks.

Given the great global and local overlap in the fields of intellectual property, whether it is copyright and related rights or the rights of owners of patents, trademarks, industrial designs and models, trade secrets and geographical data, this overlap leads to confusion of matters, which necessitates standing on the means of protection for the owners of these rights and moral properties. It was necessary to issue local and international legislation that addresses these issues and preserves the intellectual rights of their owners of various types in the literary, commercial and industrial fields.
Local and international legislations have agreed that these rights must be protected and that this protection requires proving the priority of the right holder. This can only be achieved by registering these rights in special records approved in every country in the world at the local level, as countries have established official departments in their legislations specialized in registering these intellectual rights in the names of their owners, with the registration of all data related to them. This registered protection is for specific periods of time stipulated by the law, with the possibility of renewal. However, each country protects rights within its geographical borders, and therefore the right holder needs to register his right in a number of countries in the world. There are also legal and practical procedures for the registration process, and therefore these legal processes cannot be followed up directly by their owner, so there had to be accredited agencies to carry out these procedures. In addition, these intellectual rights require constant follow-up in order to preserve them. In the event of any attack, the law preserves the right holder’s right and pursues the attacker on the intellectual property and charges him with paying compensation commensurate with the damages incurred by the right holder.
