During WIPO 2025, the United Arab Emirates and the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) signed a landmark Patent Cooperation Agreement that could reshape how innovators protect their ideas across borders.

Key benefits of the agreement:

• Recognition of USPTO examination results in the UAE
• Faster patent grants for US applicants entering the UAE
• Reduced duplication and filing costs for innovators and startups

This streamlined approach means less time lost in bureaucracy and more focus on bringing innovations to market. It’s a strategic boost for inventors, research centers, and businesses looking to expand into the Gulf region.
