The Licensing Executives Society-Arab
Countries (LES-AC) was first established in 1997 under the name “Arab Licensing and Technology Transfer Society (ALTTS)”, as an Arab
professional body addressing licensing and technology transfer issues . The Society aimed at providing technical
assistance to specialists and interested parties in the Arab countries.
Since its establishment, the Society worked hard to join the Licensing Executives Society International (LESI) in order to acquire international recognition via its membership in a specialized international entity. These efforts were successful and the Society joined LESI
in 1998 during its Annual Meeting
held in Miami, USA. Thus, the new
name of the Society became the Licensing Executives Society – Arab Countries (LES-AC).
Being a member of LESI facilitated
the Society’s objectives, benefiting from existing international efforts in this field and acquiring other expertise, as well as learning from the technical results of other national societies that are LESI members.
LES-AC represents the countries of
the Arab League. Membership is open
to all individuals who are specialized or interested in licensing, technology
transfer and research and development (R&D) in the Arab world.
The Licensing Executives Society–Arab Countries
(LES-AC) is the first non-profit Arab
regional society specialized in licensing and
technology transfer.
LES-AC aims at educating the business community on the economic importance of
licensing, the protection of Intellectual Property Rights (IPRs), and research
and development (R&D) investment.
