Gulf BPG represented by Chairman Malek Hannouf attended MoU signing between Ministry of Economy and the Spanish National Professional Football League ‘La Liga’. The UAE Ministry of Economy, in partnership with Dubai Media City and La Liga, has launched the “Anti-Piracy Lab” project to combat intellectual property violations by blocking websites that illegally use audio and visual content. H.E. Abdullah bin Ahmed Al Saleh and La Liga President Javier Tebas signed a memorandum of understanding to establish the lab in Dubai Media City.

H.E. Abdullah Al Saleh emphasized the UAE’s commitment to enhancing its intellectual property system, while Mr Javier Tebas praised the initiative as vital in the fight against piracy. The Ministry aims to complete the project within three years, utilizing advanced technology to detect and remove infringing content. This effort is part of the Ministry’s broader strategy to strengthen the IP landscape in the UAE, which has already seen success in blocking 1,117 infringing websites during Ramadan 2024.
