Key Points

• The Egyptian Intellectual Property Authority participated in BRICS intellectual property meetings in New Delhi, scheduled for September 1–3, with a delegation led by its president, Hisham Azmy.
• BRICS members unanimously approved two Egyptian proposals for cooperation and knowledge exchange on intellectual property.
• The first proposal envisages a flexible platform for sharing practices on industrial property commercialization, technology transfer, support for startups and SMEs, and university–industry links.
• The second proposal focuses on pharmaceutical and biotechnology patent examination and intellectual property policies that balance innovation with public health and development objectives.
• Both proposals rely on voluntary cooperation within the existing BRICS intellectual property framework, without creating new institutional structures.
• Egypt also presented progress on its national intellectual property strategy, digital services, legislative reform, and public awareness efforts.
