The Uganda Registration Services Bureau has teamed up with two major groups to run a workshop about managing digital rights. URSB joined forces with the World Intellectual Property Organization and the African Regional Intellectual Property Organization for this important meeting. They invited groups that manage creative rights, digital companies, and experts to talk about protecting creative works online. The workshop lasts for two days and focuses on how to handle rights as more content moves to digital platforms.
These organizations want to help rights managers work better with online platforms. As more music, art, and other creative works appear on the internet, creators need strong protection systems. URSB leads these efforts as the main office for intellectual property matters in Uganda. The workshop aims to build partnerships between rights managers, digital companies, and government agencies. These connections should create better systems to protect creative works and help everyone understand the complex rules of digital rights.
Mr. Gilbert Agaba spoke at the event on behalf of URSB's leader, Ms. Mercy K. Kainobwisho. He stressed the importance of updating methods for protecting creators. "We must adapt our strategies to protect the rights of our creators," he said. Representatives from international organizations also discussed working together across borders to solve these problems. The meeting included talks from experts who shared what works in other countries.
The program featured several key activities during the two days. Expert speakers from both international groups explained global standards for managing digital rights. Panel members discussed how to use digital platforms to manage creative rights more effectively. Participants also shared the problems they face when trying to protect their rights online. They reviewed current laws and suggested ways to improve them for the digital age. The group made several promises, including better copyright laws, fighting online theft, building teamwork between all parties, bringing artists into the conversation, and creating systems that support creators for years to come.
