President General Pervez Musharraf on Wednesday re-promulgated an ordinance to give constitutional cover to Intellectual Property Organisation of Pakistan (IPOP). The IPOP was established to protect intellectual property rights in Pakistan through an ordinance, which lapsed on August 8. The new ordinance will be effective from August 7.
The ordinance said IPOP shall be an autonomous organisation under the administrative control of the Cabinet Division and the federal government shall issue a notification to constitute its policy board, consisting of chairman, vice chairman, director general, who will be its ex-officio secretary and the members from the public and private sectors.
The federal government shall appoint the chairman, vice chairman, director general and members of the board.
The board shall set objectives and policy guidelines of the organisation in accordance with the powers and functions provided in Section 13 of the ordinance.
