Intellectual property has become one of the most important pillars of the modern economy. Material wealth is no longer the sole measure of progress; creativity, innovation, and knowledge have become the primary tools for development. In the digital age, where information flows at tremendous speeds across the internet, legislators and the judiciary face unprecedented challenges in protecting the rights of authors, innovators, and startups.
In Syria, as the economy gradually enters the digital transformation phase, there is a pressing need to develop the intellectual property system to align with the new reality and encourage investment and innovation.
Intellectual property refers to the legal rights granted to individuals or institutions over their intellectual creations. These include:
Copyright (books, software, and artwork).
Trademarks (logos and distinctive company names).
Patents (inventions and technological innovations).
Trade secrets (information of economic value).
