解説
This book advocates for an Afrocentric approach to intellectual property (IP) law, using lessons from Nigeria's past to encourage reform for the future of Africa's legal IP landscape.
Highlighting the Eurocentric influence on the history of intellectual property law in Africa, the book demonstrates how this contradicts traditional African community culture. This book makes the case for legitimising cultural expressions of traditional communities despite the western legal framework within which they exist, reimagining a decolonised IP framework whereby African histories are centred. Questioning the fundamentals of the current IP landscape, such as the concept of eligibility in copyright which developed alongside European technological advances, the book also details the role of the courts in resolving IP disputes. It highlights Africa as a powerhouse of original, autonomous innovation, values, and traditions which predate the West's concept of intellectual property. It illustrates the African experience of intellectual property from a pro-African perspective as shared by African authors.
This book will be of interest to researchers in the field of intellectual property, copyright, and patent law, as well as African law.
