Ministry marks World Intellectual Property Day

In commemoration of World Intellectual Property Day, the Ministry of Legal Affairs yesterday hosted an open day at their South Quay office, in an attempt to educate and increase the public’s awareness of intellectual property.

Legal Affairs Minister Camille Robinson-Regis stated that the Intellectual Property Office was one of the flagships of her ministry, and that it was unfortunate that the population of TT was not more aware of the Intellectual Properties Act which served to protect various gadgets and inventions. Describing the theme of yesterday’s open house “Making Intellectual Property Your Business” as fitting, Robinson-Regis stated that her Ministry had undertaken to teach persons about the protection laws. Members of staff at the Ministry treated the public to detailed explanations as to the laws protecting products in the agricultural, musical, industrial, and various other sectors.
