Saudi Arabia Removed from IPR “Watch List” On February 24, the Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR) announced that it had removed Saudi Arabia from the Special 301 Watch List as a result of the Kingdom’s progress in the protection and enforcement of intellectual property rights (IPR). The decision is based on an out-of-cycle review that began in April 2009 focusing on three specific issues; deterrent level penalties for violations of Saudi copyright law, action to reduce the use of unauthorized copies of software within the Saudi Government, and adequate protection for patented pharmaceutical products.
