Roundtable on IPR
10 May 2007Jordan National Library dealt with 1,724 counterfeit cases and referred them to courts. “This increase indicates our dedication in minimizing the effects of this ‘crime’,” Director-General of National Library, Ma’moun Talhouni told the attendants during the monthly roundtable held on Monday at the Talal Abu-Ghazaleh College of Business/German University (TAGCB/GJU) in Amman.
Arab Society for Intellectual Property (ASIP) Chairman Talal Abu-Ghazaleh welcomed this effort and called on all those who are working in this field for more coordination for the interest of not only right holders but also the national economies as a whole.
“I am so pleased with this initiative and we as ASIP are ready to provide all the needed assistance to make such an effort a success,” Abu-Ghazaleh stated. “I believe such events would form networks between the IP-targeting organizations and at the same time the media will play its role on shedding more light on such informative discussions,” Rana Diab from Jordanian Intellectual Property Association (JIPA) said.
