One important service offered by CopyGhana is the collection and analysis of statistics on the use of works throughout the country.
This is critical for identifying the scope of copyright infringement and making informed decisions about licensing and royalty distribution.
The process of data collection and analysis involves methodically gathering information on how text and image-based works are used in Ghana. CopyGhana systematically monitors the usage trends of various works to detect unlawful uses and ensure compliance with copyright regulations.
The analysis provides an accurate visualisation of the landscape of infringement, allowing the organisation to take appropriate actions to defend creators’ rights.
One notable survey is the 2023 Survey on Digital Uses of Text and Image Based Works in Selected User Institutions in Ghana. In addition, the CopyGhana Statistical Survey on Photocopying and Digital Copying in Tertiary Institutions In Ghana was also conducted in 2014 to investigate the extent of photocopying and digital copying in tertiary institutions in Ghana.

Data collection and analysis are essential components of successful copyright management. It offers critical insights on the use of word and image-based works which subsequently leads to informed decision making.
