UAE Ministry of Economy signs MOU with KIPO

A news report from Gulf News here that the UAE Ministry of Economy has signed a(nother) Memorandum of Understanding with the Korean Intellectual Property Office.

From the report it appears that the KIPO will start assisting in the examination of patent applications in the UAE.

This part of the Empty Quarter welcomes the news as speedy processing of patent applications is, generally, a good thing. However, applicants and their agents will need to be ready to pay the fees, noted here.
