The National Copyright Office (ONDA) in the Dominican Republic has been emphasizing the importance of intellectual property registration to bolster the nation’s creative economy. Officials noted that increased registration of artistic, scientific, and literary works is a key driver for cultural and economic development, contributing to the country’s removal from the United States Department of Commerce’s ‘List 301’.

To further these efforts, ONDA has entered into a cooperation agreement with the Instituto Técnico Superior Comunitario (ITSC). This partnership aims to foster a culture of respect for intellectual property through training, workshops, and seminars designed for students and educators, helping them protect technological projects and research.
