JAKARTA (JP): Directorate General of Intellectual Property
Rights is slated to conduct a seminar and a series of other
activities related to intellectual property between April 24 and
April 26 to improve people's awareness on the protection of the
rights.

Director General of Intellectual Property Rights Zen Umar

Intellectual Property International's (WIPO) general assembly

The topics to be discussed at the seminar include law
enforcement on copyrights and three currently endorsed laws on
intellectual property rights, namely the No.30/2000 Law on Trade
Secrecy, the No. 31/2000 Law on Industrial Design and the No.
32/2000 Law on Layout and Integrated Circuits. (01)
