Department draws up IP roadmap, targets red zones
An intellectual property reform roadmap featuring an action plan for the short, medium and long terms is set to go before Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha later this month. Nuntawan Sakuntanaga, director-general of the Intellectual Property Department, said the department has completed the reform roadmap, which will be submitted for consideration by the national intellectual property policy committee, chaired by Gen Prayut, which is due to meet on Aug 25. More importantly, efforts are needed to raise Thai people’s awareness of not using pirated products. The government aims to eradicate IP infringements in these venues by 2021.
