Happy World Intellectual Property Day! #WorldIPDay Today we celebrate the invaluable innovative contributions of women in innovation & creativity. Here is the ARIPO's DG Bemanya Twebaze article to mark the day. rb.gy/yc5av

Melissa Omino, Strathmore CIPIT's Director, welcomes you to our seminar, ‘Promoting #A2K & #R2R’. In line with the #WorldIPDay's theme, she hails the women who bolster innovation and creativity. She hopes that the policymakers present will consider the outcomes of today’s discourse.

Women Inventors, creators & entrepreneurs are making a difference! Meet the changemakers that are shaping a better future. #WomenandIP #WorldIPDay #GetYourCopyrightRight GIZ EDWARD SIGEI Mwaniki Mageria SharonWata Sara Jabril @oprahoyugi Dr. Zippy Okoth WAMBUI KAIRO

As opposed to just being custodians of physical materials, librarian Ms Janegrace Kinyanjiu walks us through the digitisation of the library resource. She does, however, point out that upholding #ip rights, such as copyright, is difficult with e-resources. #WorldIPDay #a2k #r2r

IP system is no free lunch, only when a work meets certain established criteria will it qualify for IP protection. A song, or a movie, for example, only qualifies for copyright protection if it is original. #WomenandIP #WorldIPDay #GetYourCopyrightRight GIZ EDWARD SIGEI
