This is given that .ke is fast becoming an innovation hub I'm just wondering is there law/body that can protect the community? ./TheMburu -- Conservatism is the adherence to the old tried against the new untried.

I know all that i.e. you cannot patent an idea and the likes but lets not bind our thoughts to that, the whole idea is to protect your main money source lines. I mean apple patented the slide to unlock the phone isn't that a form of claiming ownership. The idea is to accept that soon Kenyans shall be hatching cutting edge ideas as money makers should we be thinking of a way to make them retain their source of money..... ./TheMburu On Fri, Dec 30, 2011 at 6:40 AM, James Nzomo <kazikubwa@gmail.com> wrote:

Hi Cikz, Check out iLabAfrica's stream on Twitter < https://twitter.com/iLabAfrica > Perhaps search for their tag #MonetizeYourApp Someone mentioned in there that it takes up to two years to obtain a patent for an idea in the country. The cost was around 1 - 1,5k /= Martin. On Fri, Jul 26, 2013 at 9:38 AM, Cikz <jociku@gmail.com> wrote:
