dc.description.abstract | This article argues that suspending IP rights considering the current COVID19 pandemic would not necessarily lead to a win-win situation for African
countries and Western Pharmaceuticals.
The first part introduces Intellectual property rights as a legal concept and
provides its context considering the current COVID-19 pandemic.
The second part delves into the Regional Framework for intellectual property
in Africa.
The third part analyses the current status of medical related intellectual
property in Africa.
The fourth part provides the recommendations to enhancing intellectual
property rights in Africa despite the current COVID-19 pandemic.
The last part provides the conclusion to the paper. It suggests that ultimately,
Africa needs more sustainable solutions to meet emerging health emergencies
as has been witnessed in the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic | en_US |
