This document discusses the importance of measuring the economic contribution of copyright industries. It outlines the objectives of such studies, including quantifying industries' contribution to GDP, employment, and trade. It acknowledges methodological challenges but provides examples of findings that copyright industries significantly contribute to economic growth. The document emphasizes that national studies are needed to inform effective country-specific policies that promote these industries' growth and development. It argues Swaziland should assess its copyright industries' potential contribution to guide strategic IP policy decisions.

In 2009, when worked for the Region of Peel government, Canada, we successfully used patent mapping to identify US patent intensive companies as the potential employers for highly educated immigrants. Following this initiative, we have created and been maintaining a Canadian patent competitive intelligence (CI) database to track the latest patent competence of over 2800 Canadian entities on a weekly basis. This database provides intelligence for long-term strategic research planning and short-term tactics.

Applying Project Management to the Cultural and Creative Industries: A tool ...Global Expert Systems Inc.
Breaking the cycle of underdevelopment has been the major preoccupation for governments and populations in the developing world over the last one hundred years. With developmental models currently under revision, developing countries have been advised to look for other possible alternatives of sustainable development.
The one area that is gaining significant attention is that of the Cultural and Creative Industries. In recent years, the UN and its specialized agencies have been spelling the good fortune of these industries. However, there is very scant literature to show how best to manage these industries. This paper therefore proposes to show how Project Management as a tool can be used to take these industries to a desirable level to produce tangible results for developing countries.
In addition to standard research based on the existing literature and debates, the Case Study methodology will be used to show at least how one country is making steps and strides with the application of Project Management. It must be noted however, that the paper will be heavily focused on project management methodologies and recommendations for action.
There are three approaches that come to mind for immediate application: the use of the Logical Framework Approach for Project and Program Planning; standardizing project management methodologies across the infrastructure of the cultural and creative industries; and a model for creating a centralized Cultural Project Management Office (CPMO).
Developing the Nigerian Creative Economy through Privatising Strategic Assets...BolajiOkusaga
GROWING NIGERIA'S CREATIVE ECONOMY BY PRIVATISING STRATEGIC ASSETS CURRENTLY HELD BY GOVERNMENT AND UNDERLEVERAGED.
Nigeria's Creative Economy has enormous potential. From Visual Arts to Music, to Film (Nollywood), to Theatre, to Fashion, Architecture, to Advertising - Nigeria's Creative Economy has come of age and needs a proper structure for sustainable growth. I am therefore proposing the privatisation of strategic assets in the Creative Industries currently held by the Government and the fostering of policies that can drive integration and synergies among Creative Industries players thereby improving the fortune of players within the Creative sector and growing the sector's contribution to Nigeria's GDP.

In 2020, the Ministry of Home Affairs established a committee led by Prof. (Dr.) Ranbir Singh, former Vice Chancellor of National Law University (NLU), Delhi. This committee was tasked with reviewing the three codes of criminal law. The primary objective of the committee was to propose comprehensive reforms to the country’s criminal laws in a manner that is both principled and effective.
The committee’s focus was on ensuring the safety and security of individuals, communities, and the nation as a whole. Throughout its deliberations, the committee aimed to uphold constitutional values such as justice, dignity, and the intrinsic value of each individual. Their goal was to recommend amendments to the criminal laws that align with these values and priorities.
Subsequently, in February, the committee successfully submitted its recommendations regarding amendments to the criminal law. These recommendations are intended to serve as a foundation for enhancing the current legal framework, promoting safety and security, and upholding the constitutional principles of justice, dignity, and the inherent worth of every individual.

•One of the branches of IP , applies to
•Every production in literary and artistic works, examples
–Books, music, plays, choreography, films, paintings, sculptures, computer programs and databases
•Basic rules on what to be protected outlined by international instruments agreed to, BUT
•Specific items protected vary according to national legislation, priorities, but there are minimum international expectations (Non- discrimination)
4. Objectives
•Quantify the economic contribution of CR and RR- based industries in the a country by estimating their contribution to e.g:
–GDP
–share of national employment, and
–revenue generated from foreign trade
•Analyse and elaborate on selected CR and RR-based industries of importance to a country. Might include:
–their national market structure
–value chain
– demand and supply chain patterns
5. Objectives (2)
–Labour market
–Policy framework
–Support from public and civil sector including the role of collective management organizations and other CR-related organizations
–Financing mechanisms
–Implications of the digital environment
•Identify comparative advantages of the CR-based industries with regard to other industry sectors and with regard to major trade partners, and

6. Methodological challenges
•A bad start?
–Historical origins of exercise (studies as early as 1970s)
–Developed country consequently leading to
•Some definitional challenges for less economically advanced countries, such as
–Copyright industry, creative industry, cultural industry
–Economic growth, economic development
–Data available – limitations (diverse levels of poverty), thus
•Mistrust, criticism even resentment, but
•Since 2001, 5 WIPO Commissioned studies in 5 developing countries (Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Paraguay, Uruguay)
•Have existing guidelines, the most popular being
•WIPO Guide on the Surveying the Economic Contribution of Copyright-Based Industries (2003)

•Not only protection, but also evaluation for taking strategic decisions nationally, just like any industry
–About investment, protection, etc
•Strategic reason with trading partners
–EU/US strong and well established CR industries, thus trade and IP closely linked, many not be the same for Swaziland
–SACU, SADC, COMESA etc members with varying interests in IP
•Will guide making of IP policy and strategies
22. Cautionary notes
•Presentation has focused on economic contribution, but not the only type of contribution
•Should not get lost in methodology, rather focus on purpose
•WIPO or any methodology need to be adjusted
•Important each country to carry out its own study or analysis, and do so periodically (no one size fits all)
–Eg categories of CR may differ in importance for each country (eg software, ICT vs publishing)
–Adjust policy and priorities
–At international level, changes are taking place as well
•Part of continuous policy making, and can be (is often) influenced by developments at international level
23. Conclusions
