For the benefits of culture to improve the wellbeing of all the people of Mozambique, wealth creation must be boosted through the economic exploitation of the country’s rich cultural heritage. The key to achieving this aim is to bring cultural property within the framework of the intellectual property system, thereby promoting its appreciation and protection and, therefore, remuneration for the author, artist or community that owns it. Generating wealth from cultural property and, as a result, creating a capacity for remunerating creators, will trigger a multiplier effect on the cultural industry. This aim will be achieved by means of the following strategic actions: • Establishing clear regulations promoting the encouragement of the cultural industry; • Introducing mechanisms to ensure the acquisition, management, marketing and safeguarding of the intellectual property rights inherent in cultural products; • Establishing an efficient system to combat the infringement of intellectual property rights, in particular through the practices of piracy and unfair competition; • Developing an incentive system that will boost the development of the cultural industry; • Incentivize the use of new technology in order to improve the quality of cultural products; • Developing programs and incentives to encourage the export of cultural products; and • Introducing the International Standard Book Number(ISBN) system. 6.7 Managing the intellectual property system Intellectual property is a cross-cutting area that affects both the public and private sectors. In this context, there is an interest in coming up with a common vision and harmonious development within the sector.
