Messe Frankfurt Against Copying Besides causing considerable economic losses for the companies affected, counterfeit products also represent a danger to road-traffic safety. Many motorists are unaware of the fact that the use of inferior-quality automobile parts can endanger both themselves and others. Thus, with our campaign against product piracy, Messe Frankfurt is making a contribution to safer roads.

Messe Frankfurt advises and supports exhibitors in the fight against product piracy. For exhibitors, it is extremely important that they take steps before the show to prevent unpleasant surprises during the event. They should first register their trademarks with the Ministry of Economy and then make an appropriate application to the customs authorities who can then stop suspicious consignments, investigate, take samples and destroy copies.

Epoc Messe Frankfurt GmbH is a member of the Brand Owners’ Protection Group (BPG) in Dubai.

The Brand Owners’ Protection Group seeks the enforcement of intellectual property laws, copyright, patent and trademark protection, and licensing laws in order to protect consumers from counterfeits and all other forms of illicit trade.

To offer exhibitors support for their legal matters, Messe Frankfurt sets up an on-site legal service during the exhibition. Lawyers from the law firm Meyer-Reumann & Partners will provide you with immediate assistance if required. Their online portal for registered exhibitors of Automechanika Dubai provides a databank where you can upload necessary documents and have access to a question and answer facility. For more information, please email ip@uae.messefrankfurt.com

Dubai: Business, tourism and beyond

Just five hours from Europe and Asia, Dubai makes for the perfect city break thanks to its superb beaches, exceptionally competitive shopping and exciting nightlife. Thanks to its infrastructure, tourist amenities and relatively liberal policies, Dubai has managed to shine brighter than any other city in the world.

Having expanded along both banks of the creek, Dubai is divided into two parts − Bur Dubai on one and Deira on the other side. Each part has its share of fine mosques and busy souks, beach parks, public buildings, hotels, office towers, banks, apartments and villas.

Visitors to Dubai can enjoy world class facilities including golf courses, spas, shopping malls and skiing, dip their toes in the waters of the Gulf or just take in the beat of the city. Dubai blends the old-world charm of Arabia with an ultramodern

14

way of life. Here dusty villages and ancient houses sit beside luxurious residential districts and skyscraper business towers as well as shopping malls and fine restaurants.

Dubai is both a relaxing escape for the visiting tourist as well as a dynamic international business hub. It is also a city where the sophistication of the 21st Century goes along with the simplicity of a bygone era. While visitors and residents enjoy an international lifestyle it is important to appreciate the culture of Dubai which is deeply rooted in the Islamic traditions of Arabia. Direct flights, easy freight access, world class accommodation, simple visa regulations, liberal trade regulations – the essential requirements of successful exhibition destinations are all met by Dubai and the United Arab Emirates.
