Download or read book Intellectual Property Law in Africa written by Caroline B. Ncube and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-06-29 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examining the harmonisation of Intellectual Property policy, law and administration in Africa, this book evaluates the effectiveness of efforts to establish continental Intellectual Property institutions and frameworks. It also considers sub-regional initiatives led by the regional economic communities and the regional Intellectual Property organisations, focusing on relevant protocols and agreements that address Intellectual Property 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 Intellectual Property law and its harmonisation in Africa.

Book Synopsis Intellectual Property, Traditional Knowledge and Cultural Property Protection by : Sharon Le Gall
Download or read book Intellectual Property, Traditional Knowledge and Cultural Property Protection written by Sharon Le Gall and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-01-10 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: International developments since the mid-1990s have signalled an awareness of the importance and validity of traditional knowledge and cultural property. The adoption of the Convention on Biological Diversity, and the establishment of the WIPO Intergovernmental Committee on Intellectual Property and Genetic Resources, Traditional Knowledge and Folklore demonstrate an emerging trend towards the recognition of the rights of communities and the importance of culture in shaping international law and policy. This book examines how developments to protect collectively held knowledge transpose to circumstances which may not meet the usually understood criteria of what is considered to be an indigenous or traditional group. This includes communally derived cultural products which have emerged out of communities and subsequently formed a part of the national or popular culture. The book considers the steel pan of Trinidad and Tobago, punta rock music from Belize, Brazilian capoeira, and the cajón of Peru as key cases studies of this. By exploring the impact of past and recent international developments to protect traditional knowledge, Sharon Le Gall highlights a category of cultural signifiers which lies outside the scope of intellectual property protection, as well as the protection proposed for traditional knowledge and advocated for intangible cultural property. The book proposes a reinterpretation of Joseph Raz’s interest theory of group rights in order to accommodate the rights advocated for collectively derived cultural signifiers on the basis of their value as symbols of identity. In doing so, Le Gall offers an original account of how those signifiers, which may not be described as exclusively ‘traditional’ or ‘indigenous’ and held in ways which are not ‘traditional’ or ‘customary’, may be accommodated in emerging traditional knowledge laws.

Book Synopsis Intellectual Property Policy, Law and Administration in Africa by : Caroline B. Ncube
Download or read book Intellectual Property Policy, Law and Administration in Africa written by Caroline B. Ncube and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-10-16 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the harmonisation of Intellectual Property (IP) policy, law and administration in Africa. Two recent developments have brought this topic to the fore. The first is the escalation of long-standing efforts to establish a Pan-African Intellectual Property Organisation (PAIPO), a continental initiative. The second is the current sub-regional attempt to operationalise the IP provisions of the Southern African Development Community (SADC)’s Protocol on Trade (articles 9b and 24) and its Protocol on Science, Technology and Innovation (article 2m). Intellectual Property Policy, Law and Administration in Africa discusses the viability of such initiatives with particular reference to the current socio-economic status of Africa’s nations. With a view to contributing to future developments in Africa at both a continental and sub-regional level, the author considers this issue through the lens of advancing the public interest in IP. Ncube argues that harmonisation initiatives ought to be crafted in a way that is supportive of the development aspirations of African states. Consequently, she urges due consideration of individual states’ unique conditions and aspirations in any harmonisation venture, a necessity outlined in article 7 of the Agreement on Trade Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights. This book will be of great relevance to scholars and policy makers with an interest in IP law and African law in general.

This book was released on 2016-01-22 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With exponentially increasing population across the globe and shrinking resources, the concern of food security is looming large over the world community. To catch up with the fierce pace of growth in all the sectors of development, ensuring uninhibited availability of food resources is a prime agenda. The growing global demand for food, feed, fiber and bio-based renewable materials, such as bio-fuels, is changing the conditions for genetic resources development and bio-resource production worldwide. The crucial role in ensuring food security is played by the agro-based industries and enterprises. Advances in plant genetic resources coupled with traditional knowledge of the local tribes and native practices facilitate achievement of food security.
Book Synopsis Cultural Heritage, Sustainable Development and Human Rights by : Laura Pineschi
Download or read book Cultural Heritage, Sustainable Development and Human Rights written by Laura Pineschi and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-12-04 with total page 442 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The importance of cultural heritage - in both its tangible and intangible forms - to sustainable development and its economic, social and environmental components is increasingly evident in the recent practice of intergovernmental and non-governmental organizations at the universal and regional level. Due consideration for the integration of the cultural dimension in the implementation of Agenda 2030 has begun to grow in various international fora, including initiatives to emphasize the role and contribution of tangible and intangible heritage as drivers and enablers of sustainable development. It has also been recognized that the inherent links between cultural heritage and sustainable development cannot be correctly addressed without taking into account their various implications for the effective enjoyment of all human rights, including cultural rights. This book offers a thorough academic investigation on the importance of cultural heritage to sustainable development and cultural rights from an international law perspective. Providing an in-depth review of the possible intersections between cultural heritage, sustainable development and cultural rights and the limits of the current legal and institutional framework, it will be of interest to researchers and scholars of international law, cultural heritage law, environmental law and human rights law.

Book Synopsis African Data Privacy Laws by : Alex B. Makulilo
Download or read book African Data Privacy Laws written by Alex B. Makulilo and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-07-05 with total page 379 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume presents analyses of data protection systems and of 26 jurisdictions with data protection legislation in Africa, as well as additional selected countries without comprehensive data protection laws. In addition, it covers all sub-regional and regional data privacy policies in Africa. Apart from analysing data protection law, the book focuses on the socio-economic contexts, political settings and legal culture in which such laws developed and operate. It bases its analyses on the African legal culture and comparative international data privacy law. In Africa protection of personal data, the central preoccupation of data privacy laws, is on the policy agenda. The recently adopted African Union Cyber Security and Data Protection Convention 2014, which is the first and currently the only single treaty across the globe to address data protection outside Europe, serves as an illustration of such interest. In addition, there are data protection frameworks at sub-regional levels for West Africa, East Africa and Southern Africa. Similarly, laws on protection of personal data are increasingly being adopted at national plane. Yet despite these data privacy law reforms there is very little literature about data privacy law in Africa and its recent developments. This book fills that gap.
Book Synopsis Law and Policy on Intellectual Property, Traditional Knowledge and Development by : Tesh W. Dagne

This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the wake of its emergence on the international scene, the world's major international intellectual property tool - the Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) - has evoked anger and dismay among indigenous people and local communities, mainly in the developing countries. Beyond the burden of setting up institutions that they previously did not have, the TRIPS expects developing countries to devote their meagre resources to the revision and introduction of legislation that provides for criminal sanctions against violations of intellectual property rights, the administration of such legislation and the enforcement of border measures. The fact that most of these countries are importers of most of the intellectual property-bound products in question has resulted in high outflows of foreign currency - adding to the pressures related to the costs of compliance and making it difficult for them to satisfy the health needs of their citizens, provide educational materials and cope with the soaring price of agricultural inputs. Despite the onerous requirements, the TRIPS Agreement does not address the concerns of the majority of the countries that are obligated to comply with it. The manner in which traditional knowledge (TK) is treated in the agreement demonstrates how the global intellectual property (IP) regime addresses the concerns of developing countries and the interests of their component indigenous peoples and local communities. The TRIPS requires WTO members to protect TK to the extent that such knowledge fits within the forms of intellectual property protection that the agreement recognizes. The problem is that these forms of intellectual property protection tools - while they have proved instrumental to owners of technological and biotechnological knowledge and skill - do not fit well with TK and, thus, have only facilitated its misappropriation and abuse. As a result, efforts to find modes of protecting traditional knowledge have surfaced in various forums of international and national law-making, as well as in the works of public-interest groups and academicians. These efforts stem from divers philosophical roots, and thus the approaches adopted and the methods proposed take varied forms. As such, the extent and mode of protection they offer as well as their effectiveness are varied. With the increasing awareness that rendering the knowledge bearer attentive to the value of his/her knowledge will encourage the holders to appreciate TK as “continuous and additive innovation” and thus a resource that further develops their culture, geographical indications (GIs) are touted as having the potential to offer advantages to developing-country agricultural producers. This article discusses the use of geographical indications in the protection of traditional knowledge-based agricultural products in the international intellectual property framework, and assesses the challenges and prospects of geographical indications to efforts to cater to the needs of indigenous people and local communities.
