RIYADH: The Saudi Authority for Intellectual Property (SAIP) on Sunday signed a deal with the General Authority for Audiovisual Media to jointly enforce intellectual property rights in the Kingdom. The program aims to establish a general framework for cooperation between the two entities to achieve the Kingdom’s strategic objectives with regards to intellectual property rights. In a continuous effort by SAIP to minimize violations against intellectual property rights, the authority recently organized an online inspection campaign of websites and platforms that were suspected of violating intellectual property laws, including sites based outside the Kingdom, to monitor and analyze for possible breaches. The sites listed included streaming service websites, encrypted sports channels, websites that offer to download books in PDF form, and unlicensed websites that offer downloading and music streaming services that violate user rights. SPA Riyadh SAIP can be reached through its direct customer service number (920021421), via its email address [email protected], or through its official social media accounts, using the handle @SAIPKSA.
