Strategy 6: Promote safe and secure online usage (Cont’d)
An effective intellectual property protection environment and rule of law enforcement will spur confidence among
innovators and investors. These are crucial factors in the investment decision making process as they
guarantee the rights of the investors and/or innovators to exploit their inventions and protect their interests
against any threats that may rise from using them.

Recommendation
The government should promote understanding of intellectual property law and its importance among citizens.
This can be done through a public disclosure of legitimate use of digital contents, such as copyright software
or the online publication of media content through social media.
