Mr. Gurry noted that:<\/p>\n<p>Thailand has had very dynamic plans for managing violations of intellectual-property rights and increasing awareness during the past few years. The country has moved in the right direction since the Creative Economy project was launched a few years ago. The creative-industry promotion plan has helped promote public interest, and the creative industry is expected to play a key role in the growth of national products and help promote a stronger economy for Thailand in the coming years.<\/p>\n<p>As for  IP awareness among Asean member states Mr. Gurry suggested that the region can protect IP rights and raise the awareness of Asean people, there should be a reminder across its member states about IP issues. It could set up a single agency that is responsible for IP-related matters in order to raise awareness and increase protection in the region after the market is merged into one. Single-market trading will not only facilitate normal trade growth, but could also lead to easier transportation of illegal goods.<\/p>\n<p>The region should also improve laws to protect the rights of enterprises in order to promote intra-Asean trade and attract foreign investors.<\/p>\n<p>Originally from \u2018The Nation Multimedia\u2019 &#8211; Thailand\u2019s leading English-language newspaper<\/p>\n<p>Original Article available here: <a href=\"http:\/\/goo.gl\/pUADz\" title=\"The Nation Multimedia Newspaper\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">http:\/\/goo.gl\/pUADz<\/a><\/p>\n<p>[dcs_link icon=&#8221;download&#8221;<br \/>\nurl=&#8221;http:\/\/commercethaiusa.org\/oca\/wp-content\/uploads\/ENewsletters\/Thai-Newsletter-04-23-2012.pdf&#8221;]Please download the full newsletter here[\/dcs_link].<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Good progress on Thai IP rights awareness seen World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO) director-general Francis Gurry talked to The Nation during his recent visit to the &#8220;Second Thailand International Creative Economic Forum&#8221; about the intellectual-property-rights situation in Thailand and Asean.
