This book examines the development of national legislative regimes
for the protection of intellectual property rights in the Arabian
Gulf states: Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United
Arab Emirates, and Yemen. David Price analyses IP rights in these
states in the context of WTO membership, and consequent compliance
with the requirements of the WTO's TRIPS Agreement. The challenges
of domestic enforcement of the states' IP laws receive critical
attention. A particular focus of the book is on foreign forces
which have shaped or influenced the character of the states' IP
protection regimes. It includes commentary on the contribution of
foreign states, the WTO and WIPO in the pre-TRIPS and TRIPS
compliance stages, and the US bilateral trade strategy for pursuing
IP protection standards that exceed those enshrined in TRIPS, and
the impact of these forces upon the states' enforcement
performance. The role of the Office of the United States Trade
Representative (USTR) and the Special 301 provisions as a powerful
tool in the US' bilateral strategy receives particular attention.
The intellectual property laws of these states have been developed
virtually in the span of a single generation, and the process of
change is continuing. As such, this book will interest
practitioners both in and outside of the region, and those with an
interest in intellectual property law, comparative law, Middle East
legal systems and affairs, and international trade.
