This volume provides a technical analysis of intellectual property (IP) rights in Africa, focusing on their intersection with sustainable development. Through case studies, it evaluates IP frameworks in agriculture, public health, innovation financing, and data protection, emphasizing the need for context-sensitive systems tailored to Africa's unique challenges. The research highlights IP's contribution to achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including food security, Small and Medium Enterprises (SME) empowerment, and gender equality. It addresses critical issues such as AI-generated (Artificial Intelligence) content, traditional knowledge, and access to medicine, advocating for balanced IP protection that stimulates innovation while ensuring equitable development.
- It explores the complex and evolving interface of Intellectual Property Rights (IPRs) and the SDGs, especially SDGs 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 8, 9, 11, 12 and 16 from an African perspective.
- Includes chapters having diverse sectoral focus like creative industries, agriculture, finance, AI, and so forth.
- Emphasizes need for localized IP frameworks, capacity development, and policy reform.
- Reiterates a nuanced and balanced IP system tailored to Africa’s socio-economic realities.
- Draws upon case studies from Nigeria, South Africa, Cameroon, Morocco, Tanzania, Egypt, Uganda, Kenya, Zimbabwe, Gambia, and Ghana.
This book is aimed at academics, researchers, legal practitioners, and formulators within the innovation, IP, and sustainable development context.
