ASIP will announce the winners at the end of this week who will be awarded TAGITOP, the first state-of-the-art Arab laptop.
 
Information was collected and analyzed electronically to issue two lists: one includes the most famous Arab trademarks in general, and the second contains the most famous Arab trademarks by sector.

The Society is currently working on establishing a database of the top Arab trademarks as a first step towards the foundation of a new association for the protection of owners of famous Arab trademarks.

Dr. Talal Abu-Ghazaleh, ASIP's president, instructed during the last meeting of the Board of Directors to establish an association for the protection of owners of famous Arab trademarks. Such protection is to be achieved through developing standards for Intellectual Property valuation, particularly famous trademarks, as well as assisting owners of Arab trademarks to promote their fame internationally," he concluded.
