SUMMARY:Webinar: 2025 1st IP Webinar on "Employee creations: Who owns the IP rights?
DESCRIPTION:Gulf BPG\, in collaboration with the UAE Ministry of Economy\, Economic Service – French Embassy in UAE; French National Institute for Industrial Property (INPI) – France\, AIPPI-UAE\, Emirates IP Association (EIPA)\, hosted their first Intellectual Property webinar in 2025. The session brought together experts to discuss thoroughly one of the most debated IP topics: The ownership of intellectual property creations by employees. \nKey Insights from France and Europe \nMr Frédéric Glaize (Plasseraud IP\, France) explained that\, under French and EU law\, copyright generally belongs to the creator\, with important exceptions for software developed under employment duties. Design rights in the EU are typically vested in the employer\, and France is aligning its national law accordingly. For patents\, he outlined three categories: \n\nMission inventions: directly linked to employees’ duties\, owned by the employer.\nAttributable non-mission inventions: created using company resources; the employer may claim ownership\, but additional remuneration is due to the inventor.\nPersonal inventions: created outside work and without company resources\, owned by the employee.\n\nKey Insights from the UAE \nDr. Hemida Abdelati (Axiom Mark IP\, UAE) highlighted that in the UAE and many Middle Eastern countries\, the general rule is that economic rights belong to the employer if creations are made during employment or using company resources. However\, moral rights (authorship) always remain with the employee. He emphasized the decisive role of employment contracts\, NDAs\, and assignment agreements\, noting that the UAE Patent Office accepts an employment contract as a substitute for an assignment deed in filings\, reflecting the presumption that employee inventions transfer to the employer. \nPractical Recommendations \nBoth speakers stressed that clear\, precise contracts are essential to avoid disputes. Employers should establish IP policies\, educate employees\, and review agreements regularly. Employees\, on the other hand\, should carefully review contract clauses\, keep detailed records of their creations\, and seek expert advice before signing agreements. \nQ&A Highlights \n\nRemote work raises new challenges\, but also creates evidence trails (emails\, logs) that can support employer claims.\nCross-border scenarios add complexity\, with international conventions playing a role.\nCourts may interpret laws differently; therefore\, written agreements remain the most reliable safeguard.\n\nThis engaging session concluded with a strong message: proactive contracting and documentation are the key to balancing creativity and business protection in today’s innovation-driven economy. \n[vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_gallery type=”nectarslider_style” images=”9424\,9426\,9428\,9430\,9432\,9434\,9436″ image_loading=”default” bullet_navigation=”true” bullet_navigation_style=”see_through” onclick=”link_image”][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Three Days in a Row: The IP Moot Court Series in Action!
DESCRIPTION:In line with the UAE Year of Community and as part of its ongoing commitment to intellectual property awareness and youth engagement\, Gulf BPG proudly continued its IP Moot Court Initiative across three consecutive days\, reaching students at Dubai International Private School\, School of Research Science\, and Al-Mawakeb School – Al-Khawanij. \nThe initiative is sponsored by Gulf BPG through Saint Joseph University (USJ) Dubai\, and delivered in cooperation with its strategic partners\, reinforcing a shared vision to empower the next generation with practical knowledge of intellectual property rights and legal reasoning. \nEach session provided students with a unique opportunity to explore IP concepts through an interactive moot court format\, encouraging critical thinking\, teamwork\, advocacy skills\, and creative problem-solving. The high level of student engagement\, curiosity\, and originality witnessed throughout the three days was truly remarkable\, reflecting both the initiative’s effectiveness and the enthusiasm of young minds when exposed to real-world legal scenarios. \nThe strong participation and thoughtful contributions from students highlighted the importance of early IP education and demonstrated how academic institutions\, industry partners\, and professional organizations can collaboratively foster awareness\, innovation\, and legal literacy within school communities. \nGulf BPG remains committed to expanding this initiative and strengthening its impact\, in alignment with national priorities that place community development\, education\, and youth empowerment at the forefront. \n[vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” row_position_desktop=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” flex_gap_desktop=”10px” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_gallery css=”” type=”nectarslider_style” images=”9929\,9931\,9933\,9935\,9937\,9939″ image_loading=”default” ns_image_rendering=”default” ns_image_aspect_ratio=”default” bullet_navigation=”true” bullet_navigation_style=”see_through” onclick=”link_image”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
