<br></div><div>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.</div>
<div><br></div><div>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?</div>
<div><br></div><div>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.</div>
<div><br></div><div>CIPIT is part of the new Strathmore Law School, and focuses on helping the ICT sector effectively use IP.</div><div><br></div><div>More information will be posted in the next few days. Stay tuned!</div>
