Rwanda: Intellectual Property Rights Bill passed
Senate has approved the bill on protection of Intellectual Property Rights and effective enforcement mechanisms.
The bill on intellectual property covers patent rights on trademarks and copyrights, and gives creators exclusive rights to their creations thereby providing an incentive for the author or inventor to develop and share the information rather than keep it secret.
The legal protections granted by Intellectual Property bill are credited with significant contributions toward national economic growth.
The bill approved by the Senate also protects inventions, literary and artistic works, and symbols, names, images, and designs.
