Qatar launches WTO proceedings against Saudi Arabia over intellectual property rights violations - The Peninsula Qatar:

Qatar has started proceedings against Saudi Arabia at the World Trade Organisation (WTO), accusing it of intellectual property rights violations, Economy Ministry said on Monday.

Part of Qatar's concerns involve the blocking of Qatari broadcaster beIN in Saudi Arabia, the ministry said on its website, and accused Riyadh of refusing to take effective action against the piracy of beIN content in the kingdom.

The Qatar Ministry of Economy and Commerce has announced today the initiation of new proceedings against Saudi Arabia before the World Trade Organization's Dispute Settlement Body, accusing the Kingdom of violating the intellectual property rights of Qatari citizens and entities under international conventions.
