Article submissions are invited for publication in the African Journal of Intellectual Property (AJIP) published by Africa University in collaboration with the African Regional Intellectual Property Organization (ARIPO). AJIP is published in June and December every year. Articles are accepted on a rolling basis.

 

This scholarly journal is a peer-reviewed, bi-annual publication which aims to respond to the growing need for documentation of, and access to research in diverse aspects of intellectual property in Africa. A special feature of the journal is the promotion of African scholarship and research emanating from universities, research institutions, legal practice, administrative bodies, the judiciary and other sectors with a stake in intellectual property policy, administration, enforcement and management. While providing a platform to publish research in core intellectual property subjects including patents, copyright, designs, trademarks, traditional knowledge etc, the journal also welcomes submissions on intellectual property- related issues in health, education, food security, the environment etc. This way, the journal aims to fill the gap in existing academic journals by encouraging interdisciplinary research.
