000050067 520__ $$aThis book offers an introduction to geographical indications (GIs) with a focus on Africa. GIs are productsthat have a specific geographical origin and possess qualities or a reputation due to that origin. Africa is rich with such products and this book seeks to explore GIs from an African perspective, examining their possible advantages and benefits to African producers and farmers. The authors also provide insight on the enforcement of mechanisms available for foreign GIs in African countries and territories. The first part of the book explores the economic and social opportunities offered by GIs, the legal framework within which African states operate at the international and continental level, and the mechanisms available to protect GIs. The book adopts an Africa-centric approach by using real-life African examples. The book proposes a balanced discussion around GIs, remaining mindful of African interests and commitments. The second part of the book provides a detailed overview of the laws and regulations regarding GIs in the two main regional intellectual property organizations in Africa: African Intellectual Property Organization (Organisation Africaine de la Propriété Intellectuelle) (OAPI) and the African Regional Intellectual Property Organization (ARIPO) as well as in eleven African states. The book lists the available protective mechanisms and enforcement remedies for GIs in the various African states.
