that provides the incentives to encourage such human endeavor, lie at the heart of human progress. IP is a significant factor for the future evolution of Saudi Arabia’s economy. The “Saudi Vision 2030,” a reform program that seeks to diversify the national economy and reduce its dependence on oil, sets out a number of objectives, some of which are directly enabled by IP.
Saudi IP legislation dates from 1939, with the adoption of the first Saudi IP law on distinctive marks. Since then, Saudi policymakers have worked to expand and strengthen the national IP system. In 1982, Saudi Arabia joined the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) and has since signed up to a number of
WIPO-administered international treaties.
