Toward marking World IP Day (April 26th), AmCham published the following
statement in a national newspaper:
Intellectual Property Deserves Protection
In honor of 2015 World Intellectual Property Day, the American Chamber of Commerce in Macedonia
wishes to highlight the importance of full and consistent implementation of Macedonia’s laws that protect
intellectual property. Without effective protection, companies have no incentive to commit capital or creative energy to developing new products or services. Copyrights, trademarks, patents and trade secrets
support creativity, entrepreneurship and innovation are all important drivers of domestic competitiveness
and global economic growth.
For the last 6 years, AmCham Macedonia’s IPR committee has helped encourage the protection of IPR by supporting the improvement of IPR-related policies as well as a variety of educational, training and information sharing
events for all groups and institutions involved in IPR protection such as judges, prosecutors, market inspectors, customs and police officers from across the country.
