Dear Listers,

Please save the dates of 14th-15th August, 2012.  The Center for Intellectual Property and Information Technology (CIPIT) will be hosting a seminar and training workshop focusing on protecting Intellectual Property (IP) in the ICT sector.  The seminar/workshop will be at Strathmore University, and is co-hosted by iBizAfrica.

On Aug. 14, the topic will be computer software patents. We will explore many issues both local and international, in an effort to answer two questions: (1) Is software patentable in Kenya? and (2) Should software be patentable in Kenya?

On Aug. 15, we will answer the question: "how can people in the ICT industry protect their intellectual property?" This will be a highly practical (i.e., not academic and not theoretical) session and will cover many issues of IP.

CIPIT is part of the new Strathmore Law School, and focuses on helping the ICT sector effectively use IP.

More information will be posted in the next few days.  Stay tuned!

Kind regards

Dr. Isaac Rutenberg
