Protecting Geographical Indications in Africa - Nora Ho Tu Nam - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

Home to emerging economies, a growing middle class, and the world''s youngest population, Africa presents exciting opportunities for high-value products, including products bearing a geographical indication (GI). A GI is a sign used on products that have a specific geographical origin and possess qualities or a reputation due to that origin.From a niche topic of interest to a billion-dollar industry, GIs now command centre stage in the field of intellectual property (IP). This is no doubt due to the myriad of benefits associated with GIs, from price premiums to the development of rural areas; the revitalization of agricultural communities; and the expansion of tourism. It is hardly surprising that many stakeholders in the GI value chain, both from within and outside the continent, show a keen interest in protecting and enforcing GIs. In Africa, producer associations, governments, regulatory authorities, and the judiciary are however limited by the lack of clear information on how best to protect and enforce GIs. This book responds to the need for comprehensive information and practical advice on GIs in Africa. The first part of the book explores the economic and social opportunities offered by GIs, the legal framework within which African states operate at the international and continental level, and the mechanisms available to protect GIs. The authors adopt an Africa-centric approach, using real-life African examples. They propose a balanced discussion around GIs, remaining mindful of African interests and commitments. The second part of the book provides a detailed overview of the laws and regulations regarding GIs in the two main regional IP organizations in Africa--the African Intellectual Property Organization (Organisation Africaine de la Propriété Intellectuelle, ''OAPI'') and the African Regional Intellectual Property Organization (ARIPO)--as well as in eleven African states: Algeria, Angola, Botswana, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Egypt, Ethiopia, Kenya, Mauritius, Morocco, Nigeria, and South Africa.The structure adopted by the authors allows readers to look up the factual background of the relevant jurisdiction, its legal framework, the applicable registration procedures, and enforcement mechanisms. The book guides experienced readers and newcomers through the topic of GIs in Africa.

This is an open access title available under the terms of a CC BY NC ND 4.0 licence. It is free to read at Oxford Scholarship Online and offered as a free PDF download from OUP and selected open access locations. With so much media and political criticism of their shortcomings and failures, it is easy to overlook the fact that many governments work pretty well much of the time. Great Policy Successes turns the spotlight on instances of public policy that are remarkably successful. It develops a framework for identifying and assessing policy successes, paying attention not just to their programmatic outcomes but also to the quality of the processes by which policies are designed and delivered, the level of support and legitimacy they attain, and the extent to which successful performance endures over time. The bulk of the book is then devoted to 15 detailed case studies of striking policy successes from around the world, including Singapore''s public health system, Copenhagen and Melbourne''s rise from stilted backwaters to the highly liveable and dynamic urban centres they are today, Brazil''s Bolsa Familia poverty relief scheme, the US''s GI Bill, and Germany''s breakthrough labour market reforms of the 2000s. Each case is set in context, its main actors are introduced, key events and decisions are described, the assessment framework is applied to gauge the nature and level of its success, key contributing factors to success are identified, and potential lessons and future challenges are identified. Purposefully avoiding the kind of heavy theorizing that characterizes many accounts of public policy processes, each case is written in an accessible and narrative style ideally suited for classroom use in conjunction with mainstream textbooks on public policy design, implementation, and evaluation.
