BSA backs government’s anti-piracy campaign

Regional officials of the Business Software Alliance recently paid a courtesy call to Intellectual Property Office of the Philippines (IP Philippines) Director General Adrian S. Cristobal, Jr. (second from right) where the group expressed optimism on the developments in the government's plan of establishing IP courts and the inclusion of IP in the curriculum of the public education system for which it has pledged assistance. BSA, an international organization advocating the use of legal software and hardware, also said it has submitted positive reports on the government's intensified anti-piracy campaign to the International Intellectual Property Alliance (IIPA) and the Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR).
