[kictanet] CIPIT and Seminar on Computer Software Patents

[Isaac Rutenberg]

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
