The Ministry of Information has issued a notice to publishers who failed to submit copies of six authors’ works to the Copyrights and Registration Branch, urging them to do so promptly.

As outlined in the Printing and Publishing Enterprises Law enacted in 2014, publishers are responsible for submitting five complimentary copies of their books or periodicals to the branch of the Department of Information and Public Relations within 14 days of publication.

Among these, two copies are designated for copyright registration, two more for the National Literary Award Selection Committee, and one more for the Department of National Archives.
