Soon a separate department which will regulate and protect intellectual property will be created in the Ministry of Economic Development, Trade and Agriculture, Deputy Minister Dmytro Romanovych has said.
During a speech at the Media Law conference on Tuesday, he said that the issue of protecting intellectual property is one of eight priorities that the minister identified as promising.
“This is one of our priorities. We have eight of them. You also know that in fact we are now representing two and a half ministries. Therefore, there are a lot of priorities, as well as the areas for which the Economy Ministry is responsible. Being among our eight priorities is a sign that that the field of intellectual property is a very important industry,” Romanovych said.
