Legal Network for Arab Scientists
Providing comprehensive legal guidance and intellectual property protection for researchers, innovators, and scientists across the Arab world. This network will bridge the gap between scientific research and legal expertise to protect innovations and foster collaboration.
Protecting Arab scientific innovation
About This Network
The Legal Network for Arab Scientists is a planned ASTF initiative that will provide essential legal support to the scientific community. Many researchers lack access to specialized legal expertise in areas such as intellectual property, patent filing, technology transfer, and research ethics.
This network will connect scientists with legal professionals who understand both the technical and legal dimensions of innovation, ensuring that Arab research and inventions are properly protected and commercialized.
