Recently Kenya’s Northern neighbour, the Federal Republic of Ethiopia has developed a draft Intellectual Property (IP) Policy. Unlike the South African IP draft policy (discussed by this blogger here) which has been widely publicised and debated, the Ethiopian draft IP policy has been largely under wraps.
Draft completed and will be presented for #discussion tomorrow
Ethiopia to introduce new intellectual property policy http://t.co/U3eXJ7NGzv— EIPPA (@ipethiopia) October 23, 2013
An electronic copy of the Ethiopian draft IP policy is available in .pdf here.
This blogger will peruse the policy document and offers some comments in subsequent blogposts.
