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.$$cProvided by publisher. 000057596 650_4 $$aINTELLECTUAL PROPERTY$$055929 000057596 650_4 $$aCOPYRIGHT$$052692 000057596 650_4 $$aPATENTS$$051361 000057596 7001_ $$aOlasupo Owoeye$$eeditor. 000057596 85640 $$uhttps://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/wipo/detail.action?docID=31467778 000057596 904__ $$aBook 000057596 980__ $$aOS
