The situation is different from the 1960s and 70s with more local creativity, manufacturing activity, establishment of research institutions and universities, the emergence of more local artists and writers, recording studios, privately owned radio stations.
In the absence of an effective IP system, Papua New Guineans have not been able to protect their intellectual property and obtain maximum benefits from creativity and innovative activities. Therefore the great need to introduce and enact appropriate intellectual property laws has been existing for a long time.
Given this background, the Government of PNG through its Intellectual Property Office (IPOPNG) has committed itself during the last 10 years in building an intellectual property system for the country.
