11. FIPT We all, as members, need to protect the copyrights
WSC 2016 included a couple of sessions focused on the
Fellowship Intellectual Property Trust to seek guidance from
the delegates. A statement has been released and will be
discussed briefly at the end of this presentation. I have
handed a printed copy out today as well as posting same on
our website in the Announcements section.
We all, as members, need to protect the copyrights
of NA’s literature.

12. Fellowship Intellectual Property Trust
The Conference has clearly stated that only literature written
by addicts for addicts and approved through global decision
making at the WSC should carry the NA name.
And, in a delegated responsibility from the fellowship, NA
World Services is the sole publisher and distributor of that
literature.
We continue to believe that members with information
remain in the most advantageous position to halt copyright
infringements, and we welcome opportunities to help.
