Arabs Focus on Intellectual Property Protections

By Todd
This just out from Amman, Jordan - "the Arab Society for Intellectual Property (ASIP) announced on Monday that it will be holding the exam for the "Patents of Inventions and Trade Secrets" course within the Arab Certified Intellectual Property Practitioner (ACIPP) program on September 25, 2007 at Talal Abu-Ghazaleh College of Business/German University.

The program is comprised of four courses:

Module 1: Introduction to Intellectual Property Module 2: Trademarks and Unfair Competition Module 3: Copyrights and Related Rights Module 4: Patents of Inventions and Trade Secrets

Upon the completion of each course, students will sit for a final examination. Upon successful passing of the examination, they will receive a certificate. When a student passes final examinations in the Modules, s/he will be granted the full Arab Certified Intellectual Property Practitioner Certificate."

If this isn't proof that trade secret protection and the need for it is recognized in even the most economically troubled environs, nothing is.
