US film, software sectors satisfied with Thai progress on IPR protection
In light of Thailand’s strenuous attempts to protect intellectual-property rights, US film and software giants have suggested to the
US Trade Representative (USTR) that it upgrade the Kingdom’s trade status this year, as they are satisfied with the outcome.
Thosapone Dansuputra, director-general of the Commerce Ministry’s Intellectual Property Department, said Friday that according to a report to the USTR voicing opinions from huge US private enterprises worried about piracy hurting their profits, Thailand had earned a good response from many companies in the film, software, music and book industries.
