US recognizes Ukraine's progress in protecting intellectual property

Washington praises Ukraine’s progress in the field of intellectual property protection, which can contribute to the full restoration of the preferential treatment regime for Ukrainian goods in the U.S. market.

"At my meetings that took place in Washington at all the levels, it was noted that the incumbent government of Ukraine has done much more in the matters of intellectual property protection than it was done over the past 10-15 years," Deputy Economic Development and Trade Minister, Ukraine's Trade Representative Natalia Mykolska said in an interview with Ukrinform.

In this regard, she reminded that the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine had passed a bill on collective management of copyrights. This gives prospects for a full restoration of the operation of the Generalized System of Preferences (GSP), and the dialogue with the Office of the United States Trade Representative is being conducted now for this purpose.
