The Copyright and Creative Industry Promotion Division (CCIPD) was established to support the growth of Bhutan’s creative economy while strengthening the protection and management of copyright and related rights. It recognizes the increasing role of creative industries in cultural preservation, innovation, employment generation, and economic diversification. As Bhutan’s creative sectors such as literature, film, music, visual arts, design, and digital content continue to expand, the Division provides a dedicated platform to support creators and safeguard their intellectual property rights.

CCIPD plays a central role in promoting copyright awareness, facilitating registration and administration, and supporting the professional development of creators. It contributes to policy development, strengthens coordination in intellectual property governance, and aligns Bhutan’s copyright systems with international standards while remaining rooted in national priorities. Beyond regulatory functions, the Division fosters creative talent through capacity-building programs, collaborations, and promotional initiatives, helping to build a sustainable and vibrant creative and knowledge-based economy.
