SAUDI EFFORTS TO PROTECT INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS

This research derives its importance from its subject; intellectual property, which gains the interest of all developed and developing countries as it is closely related to international trade and the export of technology among countries all over the world. The greater the protection of patents in particular and intellectual property in general, the greater will be the movement of international trade. This research will answer the question if international cooperation achieves its goals in creating a unified regulation for intellectual property in internal laws of states, especially in the KSA. This appears clearly in Saudi Arabia's conclusion of many bilateral and multilateral agreements to protect intellectual property and patents, in addition to developing its internal systems by issuing regulations for intellectual property and establishing relevant executive bodies.
