Members of Parliament are attending a round table engagement hosted by the Namibia Business & Intellectual Property Authority (BIPA) under the theme: “Growing the Local Creative Industry to Grow the Economy Through a Balanced and Effective Copyright Legal System.”
The engagement aims to equip lawmakers with insight into the provisions of the Draft Namibia Copyright and Related Rights Bill, which is yet to be tabled in Parliament.
The discussions are focused on strengthening intellectual property protections, promoting the growth of Namibia’s creative sector, and ensuring that the proposed legal framework balances the interests of creators, businesses, and the public.
By engaging legislators ahead of the Bill’s tabling, BIPA seeks to enhance understanding of the proposed reforms and support informed debate when the legislation is formally introduced to the floor of the House.
