Clearly we have no inventors/innovators in Kenya(or laws to protect them?). No wonder Patent Knowledge(and a respect for intellectual capital) doesn't resonate with us . I remember a thread where people are afraid of sharing info especially with big companies because they will run with it. If patenting was respected, such fears would be quelled coz the first to patent would get the benefit of his ideas.
