It examines in detail their breakthrough proposals and initiatives at the WTO, WIPO and WHO with regard to IP and public health; IP and traditional knowledge, traditional cultural expressions and genetic resources; IP and biodiversity; and exceptions and limitations to copyright. Using Botswana, Burundi, Egypt, Ghana, Kenya, Mauritius, Morocco, South Africa and Tunisia as examples, it examines the systems under which these IP subject matters are protected. From a regional perspective, the book also analyses some initiatives taken by ARIPO, OAPI and the African Union to protect traditional knowledge and traditional cultural expressions, especially in relation to protection of the rights of local farming communities and breeders, regulation of access to biological resources, genetically modified organisms and the proposed establishment of the new Pan-African Intellectual Property Organization (PAIPO). Demonstrating how Africa is now an active player on the international IP scene, this book will be invaluable to those interested in intellectual property law, business and commercial law, and African and international law. 000027084 650_0 $$aIntellectual property (International law) 000027084 650_0 $$aIntellectual property$$zAfrica. 000027084 650_4 $$aSPAIN : PLANT VARIETIES PROTECTION SEMINAR 000027084 650_6 $$aPropriété intellectuelle$$zAfrique. 000027084 651_0 $$aAfrica$$xCommerce$$xLaw and legislation. 000027084 942__ $$cMON$$jF 14 KON.A 000027084 952__ $$w2013-04-26$$p2013-0138$$r61.75$$u41563$$bMAIN$$10$$kF 14 KON.A$$v2013-04-26$$zTagged$$71 000027084 980__ $$aBIB 000027084 999__ $$c29488$$d29488
