CAIRO - Abu-Ghazaleh Intellectual Property (AGIP) and the Egyptian Satellite Company NileSat signed, on July 7, 2008, an agreement of incorporation of “TAG-IPR-TV,” the first independent Intellectual Property Rights (IPRs) satellite channel.
The channel will have exclusive programs that tackle IPRs issues regionally and globally.
“The idea behind establishing a satellite channel dedicated to Intellectual Property Rights is to strengthen awareness in IP issues and give a clearer image on the IP situation in the Arab world,” Chairman and CEO of TAGorg Talal Abu-Ghazaleh said.
“The new satellite channel, reporting in both Arabic and English, will be a credible source of information that satisfies the growing interest in issues relating to IP. It will also contribute to the promotion of IP awareness in the region and around the world,” he added.
Abu-Ghazaleh highlighted the importance of IP in developing the worldwide economy saying, “There is no doubt that IP plays a vital role in lifting the economy of any country and our position as leaders in this field is to continue developing the strategies and methods to protect IPRs.”
AGIP's commitment to the protection of IP comes from its belief in the importance of IPRs and their role in creating a dynamic, innovative business environment that will contribute to sustainable economic progress and development.
