Investments into the markets of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) are substantially growing from economic, technology and industrial perspectives. More and more international businesses come into play every day and trade with UAE. UAE-market remains one of the most dynamic hubs nowadays for commercial and intellectual property (IP) activities, as well as business expansion. Sustainable market entry requires a robust legal protection - from choosing the right business model to safeguarding your brand or trade dress and to IP enforcement.
We are pleased to invite you to our executive business session (seminar) focused on corporate, legal and practical aspects related to opening a company and trading in UAE, protecting brands and trade dress, franchising and IP licensing, and enforcing IP assets in digital area.
