July 18, 2024
The U.S. Department of State released the 2024 Investment Climate Statements for Georgia, in which it is said that the National Intellectual Property Center of Georgia – “Sakpatenti” administers the regulatory system for issuing and managing trademarks, copyright, patents, and geographical indications of origin.
According to the report, Georgia has improved enforcement of IPR. In particular, the State Department notes in its statement that Georgia has effectively reduced the availability and use of unlicensed software, pirated video and audio recordings, and other unlicensed content online.
In the report of the U.S. Department of State it is said that Sakpatenti coordinates the government's approach to IPR enforcement under the Interagency Coordination Council for IPR Enforcement.
According to the assessment of the U.S. Department of State, this Council is an efficient platform for government institutions to exchange their views on IPR enforcement issues.
