In spite of the fact that Jordan has experienced a tremendous cultural and scientific revival, intellectual property in the Kingdom is still protected only by the Ottoman legislation promulgated in 1907, which is now outdated and no longer meets modem requirements in regard to the scope of protection of intellectual property, copyright conditions and the legal procedures needed to ensure such protection. Accordingly, there is a need to promulgate new legislation in order to remedy these shortcomings and take account of Arab and international conventions concerning intellectual property rights. To this end, a Copyright Act has been drafted as an additional means to promote cultural and intellectual creativity in general by ensuring the protection of copyright, as well as the rights of the State and society. 47. The ambitious schemes which the Ministry regards as essential include: promulgation of this legislation concerning registration and copyright; introduction of a standard indexing system; establishment of a national library, a national publishing house, a cultural information network and cultural centres in all the governorates; introduction of a system of research grants; and development of the Arts Centre or, alternatively, its conversion into an academy or a faculty at an intermediate college.E/1982/3/Add.38/Rev.1 page 13 48.

analysis: The text appears to be discussing the development of intellectual property laws and infrastructure in Jordan, with the goal of promoting cultural and intellectual creativity. It mentions the establishment of a national library, publishing house, and cultural information network, as well as the development of research grants and an academy or faculty. This suggests that the text is focused on education, culture, and science and technology, rather than economic development, natural resources, or other areas.
