The African Group of countries has been in the forefront of countries agitating in the World Trade Organization TRIPS Council for the extension of this special protection and of the multilateral register to industries which are of interest to developing countries, primarily agriculture. The so-called "extension question" is the central feature of the Doha Development Agenda at both the WTO and World Intellectual Property Organization. This book provides some empirical evidence and applied legal and economic reasoning to this debate. It provides both a general review of the key issues and a series of case studies from six Anglophone and four Francophone countries in Africa. These focus on major agricultural commodities such as coffee, cotton, cocoa and tea, as well as more specific and local products such as Argan oil and Oku white honey. 000040712 650_0 $$aMarks of origin$$xAfrica 000040712 650_0 $$aLaw$$xAgricultural 000040712 650_0 $$aSocial science$$xDeveloping & Emerging Countries 000040712 655_4 $$aElectronic books 000040712 7102_ $$aRoutledge 000040712 7972_ $$aProQuest (Firm) 000040712 85640 $$uhttps://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/wipo/detail.action?docID=1135382$$zView this Ebook 000040712 904__ $$aBook 000040712 942__ $$2ddc$$cEBOOK 000040712 980__ $$aBIB 000040712 980__ $$aOS
