It has come to the attention of the Ministry of Commerce & Industry (MOCI) that Users of Creative Contents (Music, Arts, Movie etc..) in the majority are not in compliance with the rules governing the commercial use of those materials bearing the Intellectual Property Rights of persons and institutions having ownership as prescribed by section 9.6, 9.35 and 9.36 of the 2016 Intellectual Property Act and ensuing Copyright Regulations.
This constitutes a tacit violation of the General Business Laws and the Intellectual Property Law, and it undermines Liberia's commitment to International Trade Rules and Obligations over Intellectual Property and our Creative/Entertainment Industry.
