Her practice focuses on trademark portfolio management including advising on best practices for protection, Intellectual Property Rights agreements, large-scale enforcement programs and domain name disputes.\r\n\r\nManel joined Al Tamimi after an In House experience as Anti-Counterfeiting Manager at Louis Vuitton Malletier, where she was in charge of the enforcement activities of Louis Vuitton and the LVMH fashion Group for the Middle East and Africa. Manel is specialised in developing and implementing cross-regional enforcement programs for Luxury brands. She developed a strong knowledge in transnational cases from conducting investigations to cross-boarders enforcement actions. Manel delivered multiples trainings to Law Enforcement Authorities across the MENA region and participated in various lobbying activities. She implemented the first on-line enforcement program for automatic takedown of infringing accounts and pages in collaboration with social media platforms and a UAE governmental authority.\r\n\r\nBefore joining Al Tamimi and Co. in 2012, Manel worked with Cedar White and Bradley where she acquired experience in the selection, clearance, registration, and enforcement of trademarks across several jurisdictions in the Middle East, Iran and Pakistan. With the firm, she advised a leading US-based consumer electronics and software company on the enforcement of its IP rights in the MENA region. Manel worked with clients across a broad range of industries including the FMCG, electronics, automotive, pharmaceuticals, tobacco and oil industries. This broad experience has provided her with invaluable knowledge and industry specific insight into her clients’ business requirements for matters such as the exploitation of intellectual property assets.\r\n\r\nPrior to that, Manel was trained with IBM France as a Junior IP Lawyer for two years. She worked with the team in charge of IBM Corporation trademark portfolio and was particularly involved into Trademark portfolio management in EMEA countries and UDRP complaints before WIPO (World Intellectual Property Organization) against domain names infringing the IBM trademark. In spite of the many constraints resulting from the IBM complex worldwide organization and processes in relation with the management of one of the most valuable brand worldwide, Manel developed a strong capacity of analysis, particularly with respect to the management of workload and priorities. Manel has drafted the first IBM URDP Complaint against a domain name infringing the famous IBM brand under WIPO Disputes Resolution.'),

The Report is compiled by the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) and is published annually. It purports to “<i>call out foreign countries and expose the laws, policies, and practices that fail to provide adequate and effective IP protection and enforcement for U.S. inventors, creators, brands, manufacturers, and service providers</i>”.\r\n\r\nThe 2018 Report lists thirty-seven states under two separate categories – a “Priority Watch List” and a “Watch List”. The Priority Watch List i.e. classifies those states, which have major shortcomings and drawbacks on IP protection and therefore require further attention, cautioning and improvement of their IP enforcement and laws. The Priority Watch List, in the 2018 Report currently hosts twelve states. In contrast, the Watch List classifies those countries, which are facing certain deficiencies in the enforcement of IP rights as identified in the Report. The Watch List in the 2018 Report currently hosts 25 states, including Saudi Arabia and the UAE – for the first time. Kuwait is a long-serving veteran of the Priority Watch List, while Egypt is similarly a well-seasoned attendee of the Watch List.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p class=\"p3\"><b>What the Report says</b></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The Report covers a wide range of issues, which, in the view of the USTR, must be addressed to ensure that U.S. persons and entities, who rely on IP protection, gain “fair and equitable market access” in the countries in question.</p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s2\"><b>Saudi Arabia</b></span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">Some of the issues raised by the Report include:</p>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li class=\"p5\">the lack of enforcement against the use of unlicensed software;</li>\r\n 	<li class=\"p5\">deterioration in protection for pharmaceutical products;</li>\r\n 	<li class=\"p5\">concerns regarding IP enforcement are increasing, including concerns related to difficulty in obtaining information on the status of enforcement actions and investigations; and</li>\r\n 	<li class=\"p5\">lack of seizure and destruction of counterfeit goods.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Primarily, the Report includes Saudi Arabia due to an alleged deterioration in IP protection for pharmaceutical products. The Report details that in recent years, Saudi Arabia has granted marketing approvals for domestic companies to produce generic versions of pharmaceutical products, which are under patent protection either in Saudi Arabia or in the GCC. Allegedly, these market approvals were granted, despite innovators’ data being protected under Saudi Arabia’s laws against unfair commercial use. The Report suggests that these approvals, conflict with Saudi Arabia’s do</span><span class=\"s1\">mestic laws and raise significant questions about the transparency of marketing approvals and predictability of patent protection in Saudi Arabia. A further concern raised in the Report was the alleged continued use of licensed software by the Saudi government. </span></p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s2\"><b>United Arab Emirates</b></span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">For the UAE, the Report’s main points for concern include:</p>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li class=\"p5\">recent policy changes that may weaken IP protection for pharmaceutical products;</li>\r\n 	<li class=\"p5\">lack of a mechanism to allow copyright licensing and royalty payments; and</li>\r\n 	<li class=\"p5\">high trademark filing fees that are cost-prohibitive.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<p class=\"p7\">The Report recognises that some UAE enforcement authorities (i.e. Dubai) seize and destroy counterfeit goods, however it highlights that significant copyright piracy and trademark infringement concerns remain.</p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">Much like in the case of Saudi Arabia, the Report calls out the UAE for allowing the domestic manufacture of generic versions of pharmaceutical products, which are still under patent protection in the U.S. In this regard, the U.S. relies on the Decree 404 system that recognises the country of origin patent protection for pharmaceutical products. The Report alleges that the UAE no longer views the measures adopted through this decree as valid.</p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"> Other concerns raised with regards to the UAE include the lack of IP infringement prosecutions; a lack of permanent staff solely dedicated to counterfeit enforcement; a lack of enforcement action without specific, written complaints from the right holders; and a lack of transparency and available information related to raids and seizures of pirated and counterfeit goods. Moreover, the report notes that despite the existence of implementing regulations, the UAE has yet to grant the necessary operating licenses to establish Collective Management Organisations (CMOs) to allow copyright licensing and r</span><span class=\"s1\">oyalty payments. Finally, the report raises concerns over the high trademark filing fees in the UAE, which are the highest in the world and considered cost-prohibitive to protecting trademarks in the UAE.</span></p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p class=\"p3\"><b>The Missing Narrative</b></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), an international non-profit digital rights group based in San Francisco, claims that the Report is the result of an opaque process that directly manifests the desires of private industry behemoths, like Hollywood and the pharmaceutical industry. EFF view the Report as a bullying tactic used by the U.S. administration to push countries into adopting stronger IP laws, regardless of whether such laws are in the best interest of the citizens of that country.</p>\r\nThe EFF noted that the Report does not differentiate between IP policies that suit highly industrialised nations from those that suit lesser-developed states. Indeed, the appropriate levels of IP protection vary depending on a country’s level of development – less industrialised states can experience exacerbated harms from restrictive IP laws, especially when they impede innovation, creativity, access to knowledge and industrial growth.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"> Even highly industrialised countries like Canada, who are year-on-year included on the Report’s Priority Watch-List for allegedly not addressing issues in relation to piracy over the internet, are now tired of the annual shaming of the Report. Indeed in 2017 Canada issued a rebuttal in which it considered “<i>the Special 301 process and the Report to be invalid and analytically flawed because the process relies primarily on U.S. industry allegations rather than empirical evidence and objective analysis</i>”.</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">As a general comment, Saudi Arabia (84 years old) and the UAE (47 years old), are new states in comparison with the U.S (242 years old). Considering the short time spans of both countries’ legal regimes, IP protection has developed at a much more rapid rate in those jurisdictions, in comparison to that of the U.S’ legal regime. Moreover, as a highly industrialised nation and a net exporter of IP, the U.S. evidently has different interests and agendas that may not always compliment those of the UAE and Saudi Arabia. As importers of IP, Saudi Arabia and the UAE understandably are entitled to pursue varying forms of IP policies, which do not necessarily have to follow suit with those of the U.S. This does not negate, however, from Saudi Arabia and the UAE’s ongoing pursuit of better IP protection regimes. Both countries recognise that there is always room for improvement and are progressing in terms of their IP policies.</p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">Indeed, the EFF’s Special 404 Report that was compiled in response to the Report, urges governments around the world to be sceptical when considering the recommendations of the Report. The EFF Report recommends to those governments that they prioritise access to culture, economic stimulation and fairness when adopting and enforcing IP laws. That is not to say, however, that one should disregard or dismiss the recommendations in the Report, but rather that fairness and economic stimulation should be taken into considerationwhen implementing IP laws. Below we analyse the Report’s claims in connection with Saudi Arabia and the UAE.</p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<p class=\"p3\"><b>Conclusion: Analysis of the Report’s findings</b></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">Both Saudi Arabia and the UAE can improve their enforcement initiatives against trademark counterfeiting and are taking steps to do so. In Saudi Arabia, trademark enforcement and raid actions are under the jurisdiction of the Anti-Commercial Fraud Department (ACFD) at the Ministry of Commerce and Industry and the officials there have gone to great measures to improve their enforcement practices. However, due to certain structural and organisation changes, the ACFD is now taking longer periods to study complaints and organise raids. The ACFD has also on some occasions rejected 3D trademark infringement complaints arguing that the trademark in question is, in their view, an industrial model. On such occasions, the ACFD referred the matter to a committee, leading to delay before action was taken.</p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">In the UAE, each Emirate has its own Department of Economic Development (DED) with which a brand owner, or their representative, must submit administrative trademark infringement complaints for raid actions to take place. Each Emirate is at a different level of development in terms of the services offered at their DED. The Dubai DED will accept the submission of complaints and payment of the associated fees online, and inspectors are quick to review complaints. The entire process from filing the complaint to conducting a raid action (if the complaint is accepted) does not usually exceed two business days. The Dubai DED has had huge success in 2017, confiscating 26,199,467 pieces of counterfeit goods with an estimated value of AED 1.2 bn. In that respect, Dubai is leading other Emirates in terms of brand enforcement actions. For example, in Ajman, the DED only accepts complaints and payment physically, and this process can be time consuming. Other problems of organisation and lack of training on brand awareness exist in many DED departments within the UAE. Addressing such problems is of outmost importance in order for UAE IP protection to improve.</p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\">While the Report is somewhat one-sided and politicised it would be remiss for the UAE and Saudi Arabia not to take heed of some the Report’s concerns. However, the approach to IP policy making should stem from principles of fairness and equity while supplementing competing interests of economic growth and access to knowledge. In that respect, the Report falls short of applying those principles and considering such interests.</p>'),

(195889, 7163, 'content', '<strong>MENA and Petroleum contracts </strong>\r\n\r\nThe Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region has vast petroleum resources with Iran, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates within the top ten oil producing countries in the World.\r\n\r\nNational Oil Companies (“<strong>NOCs</strong>”) in conjunction with International Oil Companies (“<strong>IOCs</strong>”) typically develop these petroleum resources and the legal regime governing the relationship between a NOC and an IOC varies depending upon the project, the resource and the host country.    Historically, host counties were dependent upon the IOC’s know-how, technology and finance but this dependence has reduced as projects were developed and know-how and technology transferred to the NOCs.\r\n\r\nProjects are, in the most cases, awarded to IOCs following success bids on tenders and, at the end of 2017, Oman, Egypt and Iraq announced tenders over certain oil and gas blocks in the region.\r\n\r\nThe legal framework surrounding the development of petroleum projects differ between countries although there are two defined regimes, <strong>Concessions</strong> and <strong>Contracts</strong>.     It is important to identify and evaluate a country’s petroleum regime in order to understand the rights and obligations of, and the relationship between, the IOC and NOC in the event of a successful tender process. The legal regime may also affect the availability of third party funding, if required.\r\n\r\nThis article will review the basic and general differences between concessions and pure contract-based arrangements in the oil and gas sector.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>Concessions </strong>\r\n\r\nConcession arrangements can be identified as traditional or modern and, under concessions, title to petroleum is generally transferred and owned by the IOC upon extraction at the wellhead.    An example of an early concession is the concession agreement between Petroleum Concession Limited (a British based company) and the Sultan of Muscat and Oman which was entered into on 24<sup>th</sup> June 1937 for a period of 75 years.\r\n\r\nUnder a traditional concession, the IOC is typically granted long term, uninterrupted and exclusive mining rights over a large defined area of the host country to undertake, at the IOC’s sole risk, exploration and production of hydrocarbons.    The IOC is allowed control over petroleum operations and, in return, fiscal payments (taxes, bonuses and royalties), based upon the value of production, are made.\r\n\r\nThe main benefit to the host country under this type of arrangement is that it assumes little or no risk; the IOC funds all operations and takes the risk of discovery.  However, the host country invariably has little control over the operations, and together with its long-term nature, the traditional concession is unpopular.    This has resulted in the development of the modern concession arrangement.\r\n\r\nA modern concession tends to work in phases, the first phase for exploration (generally being between 5 -10 years, and which may include a defined work programme), and a second longer phase, subject to discovery, for production.   The owner of the mineral interest (usually the host country) grants a lease or licence to the IOC, in return for payment of a rent and, upon production, a royalty.\r\n\r\nMoreover, national courts and legislation create the regulatory environment within the host country by supplementing concession terms with conditions, including matters of taxation.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>Contracts</strong>\r\n\r\nUnder a pure contractual petroleum regime, the entire arrangement between the NOC and IOC is set out in an agreement, which has been negotiated between the parties.\r\n\r\nThere has been a trend towards more contractual-based arrangements and the MENA region typifies this trend; for example in Egypt where Tax and Royalty Concessions were replaced in the mid 1970’s with Production Sharing Agreements and in Kuwait a variety of contracts have been utilised since the late 1990’s, including Operating Service Contracts, Enhanced Technical Service Contracts and Oilfield Service Contracts.\r\n\r\nThe types of contracts vary, but the forms widely used are Production Sharing Agreements, Participation Agreements and Service Contracts.\r\n\r\nThe Production Sharing Agreement is a commercial and regulatory instrument and allows the host country to regulate operations without the need for adopting specific regulations within its national legislation.    Under a Production Sharing Agreement, in most instances, title to the extracted petroleum remains with the host country and the contract grants rights to the IOC to recover its costs from production (cost oil) before dividing the remaining production between the host country and the IOC (profit oil).    The precise calculations of cost oil and profit oil are negotiated within the contract and may include adjustments to allow, for instance, for changes in economic conditions and the type of petroleum recovered (oil or natural gas).     The contract shall also include any taxes and royalties which are to be paid.\r\n\r\nIn a Participation Agreement (either by way of equity or contractual joint venture), the host country will participate with a working, carried and/or free interest.   With a working interest, the NOC shall be deemed a private party, sharing risks with the IOC, and contributing to a share of costs, typically after a discovery is made.   With a carried interest, the cost of participation by the NOC is funded (that is, \"carried\") by the IOC with costs recovered from production.  With regards to a free interest, the NOC receives a share without obligation for any contribution.\r\n\r\nGenerally, the potential rewards are considered to be greater for a host country under these types of arrangements than under concession arrangements, although the element of risk is greater too.   Control of operations under these arrangements depend on the agreed terms although the IOC will typically take the role of operator under a Production Sharing Agreement and under a Participation Agreement a committee, with members appointed from the IOC and NOC, usually govern operations.\r\n\r\nUnder Service Contracts, the oil or gas produced remains the property of the host country and the IOC is paid a fee for providing services.     Concerns surrounding sovereignty are addressed under Service Contracts, since as the hydrocarbon owner, the host country has management and operation control and the contracting IOC will work under command of the NOC.     However, the host country but may not reap the same rewards that a Production Sharing Agreement or Participation Agreement bring.\r\n\r\nDepending on the type of Service Contract, the fee may be paid from proceeds of production and the contractor may have a right to acquire petroleum at a discounted price.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>Conclusion </strong>\r\n\r\nConcessions and Contracts are the two defined regimes for the exploration and production of petroleum setting out the roles and responsibilities of the IOC and NOC. Each differ in respect of claims to ownership of petroleum, control over and operation of the project and the sharing of hydrocarbon products.\r\n\r\nIn the Middle East and North Africa, the trend is towards more contract-based regimes but the regime selected by the host country is generally determined by the type and status of proposed projects, the involvement of any National Oil Company and the requirement to attract foreign investment and know-how.'),

The team’s advice is practical and informed by its familiarity with the sectors in which its clients operate, the legal and regulatory environments of more sophisticated jurisdictions, and its deep knowledge of local law and practice. With ready access to Arabic speaking lawyers and specialists across all the firm’s practice areas, the team is well-positioned to provide comprehensive, expert legal advice in this diverse and dynamic area of business. Working with colleagues across the Middle East, the team regularly acts as a single point of contact for multi-jurisdictional advice on sector-specific issues.\r\n\r\n<strong>Technology</strong>\r\n\r\nThe Middle East continues to provide a rich source of growth in the technology space. The opportunities provided by investment in smart cities, the very real need for improved technological infrastructure and a general desire to move towards knowledge-based economies, are resulting in increased public sector investment in technology. Additionally, both private sector and public sector clients are seeking to modernize their existing systems and solutions. International technology players continue to see the huge potential for business across the region.\r\n\r\nOur team services a client base that includes technology vendors, and a diverse range of private and public sector technology purchasers. Many of these clients are in the financial services sector, including banks, insurance companies and payment solution providers. Other clients can be broadly categorized as operating in the e-commerce space, ranging from modest on-line marketplace start-ups through to developers of significant ‘game changing’ technologies looking to expand into the region. Clients in the healthcare, education and hospitality sectors also feature, as do clients with interests in general industrial manufacturing, telematics and the ‘internet of things’. The team also works with government sector entities on a broad variety of technology-related matters, including smart city technology, e-payment platforms, transport infrastructure solutions and data protection and information security related matters.\r\n\r\n<strong>Media</strong>\r\n\r\nThe Middle East has a young demographic, increasing incomes and greater access to content via mobile devices. Broader considerations, such as an increased desire for local content, alternative means of content delivery, and growth in the regional film production, sports, tourism and events sectors, is resulting in swift development in the media and entertainment sector.\r\n\r\nMeanwhile, there are still regional-specific considerations that service and content providers, and their customers, need to consider. Local sensitivities, and related regulations, can create a minefield for production companies, publishers/platform operators, advertisers and others involved in the broader media sector. On-the-ground legal support is essential.\r\n\r\nOur team services clients ranging from local SMEs to world-wide names in the industry. They include, amongst others, marketing and advertising agencies, media development and production companies, internet content providers, e-commerce businesses and online platform operators, event production companies, venue operators, musicians, sports bodies and sponsors.\r\n\r\n<strong>Telecommunications</strong>\r\n\r\nIn the Middle East, as elsewhere, traditional telecommunications companies continue to face challenges from non-traditional players. Technological developments, such as IP messaging services and ubiquitous smart phones, and a growing appetite for mobile content, are examples of how the telecommunications industry is facing change around the world. In the context of the relatively ‘closed’ telecoms markets of the Middle East, it remains to be seen how these challenges will be addressed.\r\n\r\nOur team services a variety of clients in the telecommunications sector, including telecommunications service providers, ISPs, network and infrastructure providers, equipment manufacturers, and clients with specialist interests in areas such as satellite services, telematics and data centres. While occasionally advising incumbent operators, the team often advises clients with technologies that challenge traditional telecommunications services. Clients need assistance to navigate the local regulatory regimes, and the relationships that the team has developed with the various telecommunications regulators in the region enable it to service such clients effectively.
