Uganda Registration Services Bureau showed support for music creators at the World IP Day event on April 25. Leaders gathered to talk about protecting songs and art rights at URSB offices in Kololo. The event theme focused on intellectual property protection in music. Officials want to help local artists keep control of their work.

URSB head Mercy Kainobwisho said music does more than entertain—it helps heal people. Justice Minister Norbert Mao promised new laws soon to better protect creative works. He plans to introduce these changes when lawmakers return to Parliament. Mao told artists they should register their brands right away. Former Parliament Speaker Francis Butagira mentioned that online theft hurts musicians badly.

The meeting brought together music groups, cultural forums, and performer associations. They all care about stopping illegal copying. Officials believe stronger protections will help Uganda grow its creative businesses. Music industry people learned how copyright laws can help them earn fair pay. Artists heard how registration prevents others from stealing their creative work.
