Abstract

This article studies the copyright law in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), particularly the educational exceptions in the digital age. It examines to what extent they can foster education and development goals. Unfortunately, there are few studies that consider educational exceptions in developing countries and examine their impact on development. This is certainly the case for Arab countries and the Gulf States that have little research in relation to educational exceptions,9 and limitations and exceptions more
generally. The research is divided into four sections. The first section will provide a general overview of intellectual property and development. The second section considers economic and social development in the UAE. The third section gives an overview of educational exceptions under the UAE Copyright Law and examines the adequacy of these exceptions in the digital age. The final section discusses the future of copyright law in the UAE and developing countries.
