Episode 75: Intellectual Property 101
Intellectual Property (IP) is intangible property that arises from the mind/human intellect – it could be anything from inventions, literary and artistic works, designs, symbols, names and images used in commerce. Legal rights are derived from this intellectual activity in industrial, scientific, literary and artistic fields.
There are two main types of IP – industrial property and copyright. We are joined by June Okal, a technology, media and telecommunications lawyer passionate about the law and technology, to discuss intellectual property in Kenya.
