Launching of Intellectual Property Award for university and school students

 
Page Content

 

The “Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research” participated in the new session of the annual “Dubai Customs Award of Intellectual Property Rights” for governmental and private schools, universities, and colleges in the State for the academic year (2013-2014), which was launched by “Dubai Customs”, in cooperation with “The Ministry of Education” and “Knowledge and Human Development Authority” in “Dubai”.

Mr. “Yousef Al Hashmi”, Director of the” Intellectual Property Rights Department” at “ Dubai Customs” said that the award has been launched for schools and universities in order for contestants to compete for the award, ensuring its role in raising awareness of “Intellectual Property” rights to mainstream this culture among the rising generations to enable the largest possible segment of society to stand up to hacking, imitation, and commercial fraud, noting that the world has devoted an international day to celebrate “ World Intellectual Property Day” which was endorsed by the member states of the  “World Intellectual Property Organization” (WIPO) in the year (2000), choosing  the (26th) of April as the date when the agreement of establishing (WIPO) came into effect in (1970).

“Al Hashmi” pointed out that the department was keen on following up on the projects developed for the award, encouraging them to provide as much information about the nature of violations of intellectual property, through holding seminars by participants in schools and universities in the State as part of their presented projects to obtain the award, provided that the nominee, whether from school students starting from grade (6) to grade (12) or university students at different levels, should prepare, organize and implement a project in the field of “Intellectual Property”, which aims to enhance loyalty , national responsibility,  and the spirit of volunteerism among students, and to enhance the national identity, guidance and creativity in this area, and to protect society from commercial and industrial fraud and theft of creative ideas. This competition reflects the efforts of the department to raise the society’s awareness about “Intellectual Property”.

 The “Intellectual Property Rights Department” at “Dubai Customs” is considered the leading department in the “Middle East”. It was established in (2005) as an independent administrative unit to keep up with the State’s policy, and in implementation of the international agreements and treaties to which the UAE is committed, and to confirm its desire to protect the “rights of intellectual and industrial property”, and to protect consumers from all kinds of fraud and exploitation which aim at a quick profit with total disregard to human health and security.
