Intellectual Property Clinics

Intellectual Property Clinics are part of the Intellectual Property Enablement Programs, offering a range of specialized services across three main tracks. These services are provided by local and international experts and specialists in the field, aimed at transforming creative ideas into innovative products through the registration, protection, and utilization of intellectual property rights.

Intellectual Property Clinics offer a range of services across three main tracks, as follows:

Guidance and Advisory Services Track: This track provides technical and legal guidance services to assist beneficiaries with inquiries related to the registration and protection of intellectual property rights both nationally and internationally. It also covers strategies for managing and enhancing intellectual property rights and ways to benefit from them, offered either in person or virtually.

Technical Services Track: Through this track, specialized technical services are provided, such as market and competitor analysis, and prior art search reports. These services help beneficiaries identify or develop innovative opportunities.

Intellectual Property-Based Enterprises Support Program Track: This track includes the Intellectual Property Accelerator Program, which aims to empower enterprises based on intellectual property rights. The program provides training and qualification for participants and connects them with a network of partners in business sectors and investors related to their products. The goal is to transform intellectual property rights into products or to finance existing products.

The Intellectual Property Clinics offer a series of group advisory sessions open to the public on the most requested intellectual property topics. Additionally, they provide a range of guides and visual materials in various intellectual property fields to help beneficiaries access relevant information on registering, protecting, or utilizing intellectual property rights in a simple and self-sufficient manner.

To access the services provided by the Intellectual Property Clinics, visit the Saudi Authority for Intellectual Property website, select Services, and then click on the Intellectual Property Advisory Clinics service. From there, enter the online platform for advisory clinics, submit a consultation request, and the request will be processed. The service will be provided either through an electronic response or by inviting you to attend an advisory session.
