Establishment
The Licensing Executives Society-Arab Countries (LES-AC) was first established under the name "Arab Licensing and Technology Transfer Society (ALTTS)" in 1997, as an Arab professional body concerned with Licensing and Technology Transfer issues, which aimed at providing technical assistance to specialists and interested parties in the Arab countries.
Since its establishment, the society had worked hard to join the Licensing Executives Society International (LESI) in order to acquire international attribute via its membership in a specialized international society. The efforts exerted 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 in LESI contributed in achieving the Society’s objectives, benefiting from the previous international efforts in this field and acquiring other expertise, as well as learning from the international technical developments of other national societies that are LESI members.
LESI is considered to be the mother organization, which is a non-profit society that seeks to make international efforts in the field of Licensing and Technology Transfer. This international society comprises thirty two (32) national and regional societies including our Society (LES-AC).
LES-AC represents the countries in the Arab League and the membership is open to all people who are specialized or interested in Licensing, Technology Transfer and Research and Development (R&D) in the Arab world.
