      abstract = {This book discusses the impact of intellectual property  and international investment agreements within Africa. It  investigates how African nations can enhance their current  intellectual property legislation across various regions of  the continent, while simultaneously fostering the  development of local industries and stimulating innovation  and creativity within the region. Despite intellectual  property remaining a major issue in global trade  governance, African countries have room to maximise the  advantages that global intellectual property law can offer.  Highlighting discourse on investment, intellectual  property, and competition policies in Africa, the book  underscores the need for African nations to develop  intellectual property frameworks that can facilitate  economic transformation. Using data from international  intellectual property conventions, WTO dispute settlements  and African regional organisation conventions, the book is  a comprehensive call to action for African intellectual  property lawyers and policymakers. The book will be of  interest to students and scholars in the field of  intellectual property law and international investment  law.},
