Entertainment, Arts & Sports

Overview

GIPA’s Entertainment, Arts & Sports (EAS) initiative advances intellectual property literacy within Georgia’s creative industries—supporting creators, professionals, and organizations whose work drives cultural and economic impact.

Who It’s For

Creative professionals, production companies, artists, athletes, content creators, entrepreneurs, legal practitioners, and industry leaders working across Georgia’s entertainment and creative sectors.

What We Do

Promote IP awareness, ownership strategy, and business alignment within creative industries through convening, educational programming, and ecosystem collaboration.

What You Gain

Georgia’s creative sectors generate significant economic activity and global visibility. Intellectual property underpins the sustainability, monetization, and protection of that work. Strengthening IP literacy within these industries reinforces Georgia’s competitive position while empowering creators to retain and leverage ownership.
