Decree-Law No. 30 of 2006 is Qatar's patent statute: what is patentable, who may apply, the rights a patent confers, compulsory licensing and infringement. It brought Qatar a modern national patent regime alongside its GCC Patent Office membership, and it remains the domestic route to patent protection in the State.
Innovators and companies protecting technology in Qatar, patent agents managing Gulf filings, and counsel litigating infringement all work from this text.
