Protecting Intellectual Property in the Arabian Peninsula: The GCC States, Jordan and Yemen

2017 | Business & Finance

As one of the few publications on intellectual property law and policy in the region in English the book provides a valuable resource for academics, students and scholars with an interest in intellectual property law as well as legal practitioners, and those doing business in the Middle East. Covering the intellectual property protection regimes of the Gulf Cooperation Council member states, Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, the book also includes discussion of Yemen and Jordan as possible future members of the Gulf Cooperation Council. The second edition is fully updated and includes a new section examining copyright in the digital environment and its infringement and internet piracy in the Gulf states, as well as additional material on the potential for Gulf-based or related geographical indications, Gulf cultural heritage and traditional knowledge and Arabic domain names.
