DOHA: The Ministry of Economy and Commerce (MEC) has organised a series of awareness campaigns at youth and cultural centres with the aim of spreading the intellectual property (IP) culture among the centre’s members and enhancing its concept.
The awareness campaigns have been organised in the framework of continuous cooperation between the MEC, Ministry of Culture and Sports and youth and culture centres aimed at developing the skills of the centres’ members and encourage them to be creative and innovative, and also enable them to gain practical experience and professional experience that allows them to protect the intellectual property rights of their inventions and innovations.
The campaigns tackled the importance of protection provided by the Intellectual Property Rights Protection Department and the importance of registering and preserving property rights to support the national industries and products, and upgrading the intellectual, technical level to increase national inventions and innovations.
The main services provided by the Ministry of Economy and commerce were reviewed and the most important initiatives aimed at implementing the highest international standards in the field of intellectual property rights protection, through an integrated electronic system of high quality to support and enable creators and owners of trademarks and inventors and innovators to preserve their rights and protect their work and inventions.
The Ministry has launched patent registration services, the preserving and filing of copyright and related rights and registration of trademarks on the website of the Ministry, to provide services to investors as part of the transformation to provide all services related to intellectual property rights electronically.
