The Intellectual Property Office of the Philippines has partnered with the National Book Development Board to bring copyright awareness to the latter’s biggest local book festivals.
“And with copyright, our creatives will be encouraged to create more works, fully knowing that their ownership will not be stolen from them, and that they can continue to benefit both artistically and economically from their creative talents,” Cabochan said. In a news statement issued on Wednesday, IPOPHL said the Copyright Caravan is an initiative of the BCRR focusing on knowledge-sharing copyright matters through seminars, and the promotion of copyright registration, projects and activities. The agency added that the caravan seeks to “establish linkages and build rapport” with the copyright-based industries.
The BCRR also held the IP Tabletop Playtesting project with nine Young Intellectual Property Advocates students and officers. Developed under the BCRR’s flagship Copyright Plus Program, the “tabletop card game” teaches players about the value of IP even as they play and enjoy the game.
