Bandar Seri Begawan - Brunei’s Intellectual Property Law is finally seeing some action following the charges brought against a company for using pirated copies of computer software.
The company, EcoPrime Networks Sdn Bhd, had been charged under the countries’ Copyright Order in Court early this month for using copies of unlicensed Microsoft software in their business operations, the Attorney-General’s Chambers (AGC) stated yesterday. It is the first known case, where an academic institution or a company that provided academic training has been legally charged for using pirated copies.
