In recognition of World AIDS Day on December 1, the Corporate Affairs and Intellectual Property Office (CAIPO in Warrens, hosted a special display hoping to raise the level of education about the disease among its clientele.
Speaking to the press on Thursday, Deputy Registrar at CAIPO, Joyann Catwell, said the department wanted to share important and relevant information with all its “shareholders”.
“These are persons who have come to incorporate companies and to register businesses names, we are here to tell them a little bit about AIDS, and in addition to that, we are also here to inform them about beneficial ownership as per our international obligations.”
She explained, “Today at corporate affairs we have our information booth corner, we have a table with leaflets on HIV/AIDS, we also have our condom corner and throughout the day there will prizes and giveaways.”
CAIPO is responsible for the administration of Barbados’ Intellectual Property Rights and advises the Ministry of International Business and Industry on the technical and policy issues which underlie Barbados’ Intellectual Property Rights regime.
