The President and members of the Arab Society for Intellectual Property (ASIP) Board of Directors are pleased to present the nineteenth annual report for the Society describing its activities and programs during 2005. We express our great indebtness and gratitude to the honorable members who supported and contributed ASIP’s progress and advancement, either by providing it with recent information and articles, attending courses and seminars, or by supporting its objective of keeping pace with the accelerating global development.
The main objective of ASIP, promoting and enhancing intellectual property (IP) protection in the Arab world, has been at the forefront of its activities since its establishment in 1987. ASIP has continuously endeavored to increase public awareness, the development and modernization of IP systems, and capacity building among IP professionals and practitioners. The year 2005 continued that tradition with the development of new seminars and training programs on IP topics. ASIP expanded on many strides and accomplishments made in past years. ASIP would like to express its greatest indebtness and gratitude to the honorable members and supporters who contributed to our accomplishments during 2005.
This report discusses the accomplishments achieved and activities conducted by ASIP during 2005, such as developing IP programs, building capacities and expertise among professionals and practitioners in the field through continuous training programs and seminars, and raising public awareness on the IP system. Throughout the years, the Society’s accomplishments have been geared towards advancing the greater mission of promoting Arab creativity and enforcing cultural, social, and economic development in the society.
Additionally, this report contains attachments pertaining to general membership statistics during 2005. It presents analytical data of membership per country and academic qualifications, as well as the names and addresses of current and new members during 2005.

INTRODUCTION
The past period since the establishment of ASIP in 1987 in Munich has witnessed various stages and important developments during which ASIP achieved many accomplishments in more than one field, all of which aimed at enhancing ASIP progress and enforcing its role in protecting IP in the interest of both private and public sectors. All this has been accomplished either by developing IP laws, holding seminars and lectures or by the active attendance of conferences, seeking to expand the IP concept at the various levels; and ultimately to realize ASIP’s objectives aimed at enhancing economic, social, and cultural progress of the society.
During the year 2005, ASIP held many seminars and training courses. It also attended many activities, seminars, and conferences aiming at and contributing to spreading IP concept, directly or through coordination and cooperation with international and Arab bodies.
It is to be noticed that ASIP has achieved a lot in the past years for some Arab countries by offering assistance in fulfilling the requirements of accession to the WTO by up-dating and amending their IP laws and providing consultation and guidance to enact or amend such laws, in order to meet WTO’s conditions through ASIP’s understanding of the nature of such conditions.
ASIP held many programs and promoted activities throughout 2005 towards the development of IP in the Arab World. It up-dated, redesigned, and enriched its website www.aspip.org. It developed and launched the first Arab qualification program for the “Arab Certified Intellectual Property Practitioner” Award, which began on November 12, 2005. The course of the first paper, “Introduction to Intellectual Property,” was held at Jordan University under an initial agreement signed between ASIP and the University of Jordan Center for Consultations, Technical Services, and Studies.
Additionally, ASIP hosted the first annual Moot Court Competition at the College of Law of Jordan University during the period of February 20th and June 11th. ASIP also co-sponsored with the United States Patent and Trademark Office the first ever symposium on Geographical Indications in the Arab World in Abu Dhabi. In addition, ASIP organized the World Intellectual Property Day with Jordan University, the Royal Film Commission, and Goethe-Institute, including an event highlighting “The Legal Part of the Arts.”
The above-mentioned accomplishments and others could not have been achieved without the support, assistance, and continuous efforts of ASIP loyal colleagues, members of the Board of Directors, in addition to the support and assistance of many interested institutions, organizations, bodies, and experts of Intellectual Property Rights (IPRs) in the Arab world.
Dear Members,
It is a great pleasure to present you ASIP’s annual report that covers the accomplishments, activities and events that occurred during 2005, as well as its financial position, and the 2006 budget and action plan.

FOUNDATION
ASIP’s foundation was initiated by IP professional practitioners led by Mr. Talal Abu-Ghazaleh who extensively used his network of contacts and held several meetings with the officials in the WIPO, International Union for Intellectual Property Protection, and the German Patent Office (taking into consideration that Germany is the world leading country in protecting the IP profession). ASIP was established on February 23, 1987 in Munich, Germany as a non-profit organization aimed towards putting together the IP professionals and practitioners in the Arab region and to help build awareness and understanding of IP issues and their dynamics. It is internationally recognized in the field of IP, and has a long, successful tradition as a private Arab regional society.
The growing field of IP, concerning the development and protection of intangible ideas, is at the forefront of business development. IP has developed and continues to develop at a rapid speed matching the scientific and economic advancements to which it is a contributing factor, and underlining the new “economy of globalization” and the continued liberalization of trade in goods and services. As Arab economies continue to integrate into the world economy impacting the domestic legal, economic, and social systems, the need for a strong IP system and its continuous re-evaluation becomes even more vital. There is a crucial and ever-growing need for local IP professionals to manage and meet the changes of society with the continued advancements in creations of human ingenuity, such as technology and pharmaceuticals. Thus, it is vital that the Arab world reaches a level of awareness and development parallel to that of developed countries.
ASIP seeks to enhance and develop the system of IP protection and clarify its influential role on globalization. ASIP is highly committed to developing the IP system in the Arab world by using appropriate means to increase awareness and knowledge in this domain. One of the main objectives of ASIP is enforcing IP protection in the Arab world and providing a free arena to discuss laws pertinent to IP within the local and international scope. It strives to develop, strengthen, and harmonize procedures concerning intellectual property rights on the regional and international levels.
To adapt to the ever-developing business world and meet market needs, society needs to be aware of the importance of IP and professionals should be equipped with the necessary knowledge and experience to cope with constant changes in the field. ASIP conducts activities and provides services geared towards training qualified IP professionals in the interest of society’s advancement and the development of IP issues nationally and regionally. ASIP organizes conferences, workshops, and training courses on IP issues independently, as well as jointly sponsored by regional and international bodies hosted in the Arab region. ASIP through its efforts contributes to the protection of the consumer and the IPR holder. Additionally, it builds an environment encouraging Arab creativity and innovation in an economically developing world.

The program offers four papers, each pertains to a discipline of Intellectual Property:
Paper One: Introduction to Intellectual Property (IP)Paper Two: Trademarks and Unfair CompetitionPaper Three: Copyright and Related RightsPaper Four: Patents of Inventions and Trade Secrets

ACTIVITIES AND GOALS For 2006
In 2006 ASIP will focus on extending activities to various parts of the Arab region, and developing activities on aspects of IP, such as the Arts, pharmaceuticals, and licensing, that are not usually discussed.
ASIP is currently developing and organizing programs and events for 2006. The ASIP plans to co-sponsor the Second Annual Geographical Indications Symposium in Jordan. Furthermore, ASIP plans to expand the ACIPP program to other countries in the Arab region in several phases. The first phase will begin in mid 2006.
ASIP will also hold the second annual Moot Court Competition in 2006 at University of Jordan. Law students will participate in a mock tribunal arguing an IP issue in front of a judge. Students will present their final arguments to an audience of their peers and members of the College of Law faculty. Winners of the competition will be awarded training contracts with Talal Abu-Ghazaleh International.
In 2006 ASIP will continue to possibly develop training programs in regard to IP for example, arbitration of IP, licensing, trademarks, and patents of inventions. It wishes to expand them to other parts of the Arab region, including Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, and Saudi Arabia.
Additionally, ASIP will host the annual Board of Directors and General Assembly meetings in Amman in September to further develop the Society. ASIP hopes to present a re-formulated strategic plan to the Board of Directors to advance the Society’s goals and objectives.
ASIP training programs and activities will develop the Society, as well as promote its objectives and action plan for 2006. The Society will hopefully expand its work and work towards higher ambitions in the future. Through its work ASIP will contribute globally to the field of intellectual property by developing the field within its region.

This qualification program, designed to encourage the development of the IP profession and a distinctive Arab intellectual property system, is the one of many initiatives undertaken by ASIP. The four papers covered in the program and on examinations include:
