THE Intellectual Property Office of the Philippines said the Philippine Creative Industries Development Law will provide the agency its much-needed boost in raising awareness on intellectual property across the creative economy
According to the IPOPHL chief, Republic Act 11904, which lapsed into law last July 27, mandates the creation of a long-term plan for the promotion and development of creative industries. “Admittedly, more has to be done to address the lack of knowledge and understanding of IP rights among creative industries,” Barba said.
In a statement issued two weeks ago, BCRR Director Emerson G. Cuyo underscored that the 2022 line up of Copyright Plus projects is inclusive of sectors who bring distinctive elements to their own crafts. He added that the program aims to empower local artists to become copyright ambassadors themselves.
