Two seminars will be organised by the Trade and Industry Branch to explain details of the draft Copyright Bill.
The Government has issued a consultation paper on the Bill early this month to a number of organisations, including copyright owners and users in the relevant sectors as well as those in the professional and academic fields to seek their
comments.
They are invited to attend two seminars which will be held tomorrow (Thursday) and on Saturday (November 16) to express their views.
The Bill is planned to be introduced into the Legislative Council in February 1997 and is expected to be enacted before July 1997.
Speakers at the seminars will include the Deputy Secretary for Trade and Industry, Mr Augustine Cheng, Director of Intellectual Property, Mr Stephen Selby and Head of Intellectual Property Investigation Bureau of the Customs and Excise Department, Mr Ronny Tsang,
More than 120 participants are expected to attend the two seminars.
