The National Intellectual Property Policy and the Security Interest in Movable Property Registry (SIMPO) has been launched by President Yoweri Museveni . At the launch Uganda\u2019s top innovations like Kiira Motors green mobility technologies whose intellectual property has been registered and secured at the Uganda Registration Service Bureau (URSB), were recognized .<\/p>\n\n\n\n
President Museveni said that government continues to support all innovations aimed at increasing the profitability of Ugandans engaged in various enterprises. \u201cThe National Intellectual Property Policy will give innovators the full protection of the law through patents, copyright, trademarks etc. This will enable these innovators to earn their rightful recognition and financial returns for their toil and sweat,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said that it was important that Government creates an environment where creativity and innovation can thrive. \u201cThe improvement in the quality of human life and man\u2019s transition from a primitive existence to modernity are attributed to the discoveries in medicine, engineering, architecture. It is through the creations of the human mind that we have been able to tame nature throughout the four and a half million years of man\u2019s existence on earth. Therefore, it is crucial that individuals or groups are rewarded for their innovations. \u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At a function held at State House in Entebbe , and attended by Mr. Bemanya Twebaze the Registrar General<\/em> and Official Receiver Uganda Registration Services Bureau (URSB<\/em>) Museveni said that one could not talk about Intellectual Property Rights without addressing the issue of funding scientists who are behind most of the innovations which benefit many people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The President emphasized that Uganda \u2018s drive towards industrialisation is based on scientific research and innovation to support value addition for local products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The National Intellectual Property Policy also protects the creative works of artists like songs, paintings and literary writings . For many years, African Literature was mainly oral and was passed on from generation to generation through storytelling, songs, chants .<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThere is now \u00a0an \u00a0opportunity to preserve our rich African Literature through copyright. The same will apply to the local music productions by some of our young people that Ugandans like listening to. This is a significant achievement which will encourage the development of talent and reward the hard work of dedicated individuals in the entertainment industry, Museveni stated .<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ho noted that the Security Interest in Movable Property Registry System will enable Ugandans to use their moveable assets as collateral to borrow money for their businesses from financial institutions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The National Intellectual Property Policy and the Security Interest in Movable Property Registry (SIMPO) has been launched by President Yoweri<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1946,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[65,74],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1944","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-national-news","category-innovation"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/prowebinhost.com\/anzu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/m7-ip.jpg","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":4469,"url":"https:\/\/prowebinhost.com\/anzu\/ugandans-salute-kiira-motors-zembo-and-iuea-for-successfully-staging-ugandas-firt-green-mobility-industrial-value-chain-motor-parade-in-kampala\/","url_meta":{"origin":1944,"position":0},"title":"UGANDANS SALUTE KIIRA MOTORS ,ZEMBO AND IUEA FOR SUCCESSFULLY STAGING UGANDA\u2019S FIRST GREEN MOBILITY INDUSTRIAL VALUE CHAIN MOTOR PARADE IN KAMPALA","author":"MOSES SSERWANGA","date":"November 5, 2021","format":false,"excerpt":"By Moses Sserwanga In Kampala Excited Ugandans lined the streets of Kampala and witnessed the first -colourful -green mobility industrial value chain motor parade . \u00a0The motor parade involved Kiira Motors Corporation (KMC Uganda\u2019s automotive industry champion, Tondeka Metro- Bus Service \u00a0, Zembo and\u00a0 International University of East Africa who\u2026","rel":"","context":"In "Innovation"","block_context":{"text":"Innovation","link":"https:\/\/prowebinhost.com\/anzu\/category\/innovation\/"},"img":{"alt_text":"","src":"https:\/\/prowebinhost.com\/anzu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/IMG-20211105-WA0281.jpg","width":350,"height":200,"srcset":"https:\/\/prowebinhost.com\/anzu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/IMG-20211105-WA0281.jpg 1x, https:\/\/prowebinhost.com\/anzu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/IMG-20211105-WA0281.jpg 1.5x, https:\/\/prowebinhost.com\/anzu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/IMG-20211105-WA0281.jpg 2x"},"classes":[]},{"id":4513,"url":"https:\/\/prowebinhost.com\/anzu\/president-museveni-has-called-upon-ugandan-scientists-to-innovate-for-import-substitution-and-export-promotion\/","url_meta":{"origin":1944,"position":1},"title":"PRESIDENT MUSEVENI HAS CALLED UPON UGANDAN SCIENTISTS TO INNOVATE FOR IMPORT SUBSTITUTION AND EXPORT PROMOTION","author":"MOSES SSERWANGA","date":"November 11, 2021","format":false,"excerpt":"By\u00a0 Moses Sserwanga President\u00a0 Yoweri Museveni has called upon Uganda Scientists to use innovation to support the country\u2019s\u00a0 import substitution and export promotion- drive \u00a0through value addition .\u00a0 Gen.
