The ASEAN IP Offices will be stakeholder-centric and will espouse a culture
of openness to the publics they serve. Through a culture of openness, the
AWGIPC will contribute towards building respect for the IP system in the
region, which will encourage more IP owners to bring their businesses to
ASEAN. The AWGIPC will conduct regular consultations with private
stakeholders as a tool to keep the national IP Offices attuned and responsive
to the needs of these stakeholders.
