   Featured Case Law Pfizer successful in enforcing ARIPO patent in Kenya
How often have you considered patenting in Africa when considering your Intellectual Property strategy and decided that it would not be worthwhile because it would be difficult, if not impossible, to enforce your rights there?

Well, the recent success of Pfizer, in respect of Pfizer Inc v Cosmos Limited (Case No. 49 of 2006), is a strong indication that you may have been wrong and that you should give filing your patents in Africa serious thought. 		  Related People Danie Strachan
