He underlined that the conference will help raise the public’s knowledge and awareness of copyright ownership in publishing, which should cut down violations of the copyright law.
During the conference, experts from the WIPO highlighted the importance of educating people on copyright ownership and other rights that support the development of intellectual property rights in developing countries, as well as the WIPO’s assistance in this field.
They said in the right conditions, copyrights encourage domestic and international investment, which will promote the development of trade and generate more income for the government.-VNA
