Africa-Press – Liberia. <\/strong><\/span>Mr. James Y. Draper, COSOL\u2019s new Executive Director<\/p>\n

MONROVIA \u2013 The Copyright Society of Liberia (COSOL) is the Secretariat within the Copyright Department of the Liberia Intellectual Property Office (LIPO)<\/p>\n

COSOL is the Liberian Government\u2019s arm for the protection and promotion of people\u2019s creative works. Some of creative works are: books, Journals, Pamphlet, movie, music, photography, choreography, and scientific invention.<\/p>\n

COSOL\u2019s other functions include: the collection of royalties for the arbitrary use of creative contents by the electronic media and the adequate distribution of royalties to owners whose works are used.<\/p>\n

The new Executive Director of COSOL is Mr. James Y. Draper.<\/p>\n

He is former Executive Secretary of the Liberian National Commission for United Nations Education, Scientific & Cultural Organization (UNESCO); Assistant Minister for Tourism at the Ministry of Information, Cultural Affairs & Tourism (MICAT); and Consultant on Intellectual Property at the Ministry of Commerce & Industry.<\/p>\n

He was officially appointed as COSOL\u2019s boss on the 22nd of April, 2024.<\/p>\n

An Arts and Craft specialist, Mr. Draper replaces Attorney-at-Law Prince E. Decker who had served from 2019 to September, 2023.<\/p>\n

On the 30th of April, 2024, the Deputy Director-General of the Copyright Department of Liberia Intellectual Office (LIPO), Hon. Clarence H. Cole of the Unity Party Government, convened a meeting for COSOL\u2019s Staff. COSOL is a sub-branch of LIPO; the two share the same building (former Ministry of Labour), located on United Nations Drive, Monrovia. The meeting was held in the COSOL\u2019s secretariat.<\/p>\n

\u201cMr. Draper is now the new head of COSOL. Give him the needed respect on his new status,\u201d Hon. Cole advised the gathering of heads of the COSOL\u2019s Secretariat.<\/p>\n

He encouraged the COSOL\u2019s Staff to cooperate with COSOL\u2019s new Executive Director, and warned against unnecessary propaganda against the new COSOL\u2019s Boss; he threatened dismissal for any of the staffs who took sensitive information of COSOL to the public.<\/p>\n

\u201cDiscuss COSOL\u2019s issues in-house. If you spilled out COSOL\u2019s sensitive information into the public domain, COSOL\u2019s business partners won\u2019t entrust you with their individual information,\u201d Hon. Clarence H. Cole cautioned.<\/p>\n

On resignation of any employee who has decided to detach himself or herself from COSOL on personal reason, the LIPO\u2019s Deputy Director-General for Copyrigs said: \u201cResign honorably, instead of bringing COSOL to public disrepute by dishonorable attitude,\u201d Hon. Cole vehemently advised.<\/p>\n

The COSOL Executive Director made some contributions in the meeting convened by LIPO\u2019s Deputy Director-Director of Copyright.<\/p>\n

His speech was short. Be began by thanking LIPO\u2019s Director-General and the Deputy Director-General of Copyright for the preferment.<\/p>\n

\u201cUpon my honor, I will do my best, not to only improve COSOL, but also LIPO. Thanks to everybody,\u201d the COSOL\u2019s Executive Director said.<\/p>\n
