Recently, the Ministry of Commerce and Industry of Qatar has added five new intellectual property electronic services through its official website, bringing the total number of online IP services to seven. This step reflects the Ministry’s ongoing efforts to simplify procedures, improve service quality, and advance digital transformation.

The five newly introduced digital services include: applying for a certificate of deposit and protection for copyright and related rights, requesting a “to whom it may concern” certificate, obtaining an extract of a copyright and related rights certificate, modifying an existing copyright application, and requesting the transfer of ownership for a copyright deposit certificate.

In terms of beneficiary groups, beneficiaries of copyright services include poets, researchers, novelists, screenwriters, composers, music arrangers, as well as artists, designers, architects, and developers of software and applications. Beneficiaries of related rights include performers such as singers, actors, and musicians, in addition to producers of sound recordings and radio and television broadcasting organizations.

The addition of these electronic services is part of the Ministry's push to strengthen the intellectual property framework and accelerate the digitization of its services. It will further improve the online IP service system and provide more convenient service support for various beneficiary groups.
