DOHA: The Ministry of Economy and Commerce (MEC) organised an awareness campaign entitled “Protect Your Product” for owners of factories and pharmaceutical companies in order to enable them to acquire the practical and professional experiences that allow them to protect the intellectual property rights for their innovations.
This campaign comes within the framework of the ministry’s continuous approach to consolidate and spread the intellectual property culture among all segments of the society.
The ministry launched awareness messages through its social media platforms and sent text messages to factories’ owners and pharmaceutical companies to raise awareness of the need to register a trademark that distinguishes their products and services and protect them from infringement.
The campaign highlighted the importance of intellectual property and its benefits in business development.
The awareness campaign also emphasized the importance of intellectual property protection and the importance of registering and preserving property rights in support of national industries and products and the increase of national inventions and creations.
Owners of factories and pharmaceutical companies were briefed on the Ministry’s initiatives to adopt the highest international standards in the protection of intellectual property rights and to provide an integrated electronic system of high quality to support and enable owners of trademarks, inventors, creators and authors to preserve their rights and protect their work and inventions.
The Ministry of Economy and Commerce regularly conducts awareness campaigns to promote the culture of intellectual property protection and its benefits, and the most important services provided by the Ministry in this field.
