Description

Examining the harmonisation of intellectual property (IP) policy, law and administration in Africa, this book evaluates the effectiveness of efforts to establish continental IP institutions and frameworks. It also considers sub-regional initiatives led by the regional economic communities and the regional IP organisations, focusing on relevant protocols and agreements that address IP as well as the implementing institutions. The book assesses the progress of such initiatives with particular reference to the current socio-economic status of African states. It argues that that harmonisation initiatives need to be crafted in a way that is supportive of the developmental goals of African states and advocates for due consideration of individual states’ unique conditions and aspirations. This book will be of great relevance to scholars and policy makers with an interest in IP law and its harmonisation in Africa.
