First January Post

Greetings from the Afro-IP team and best wishes to our readers for 2015. As this little blog and community heads towards their 10 year anniversary, 2000th post and their first million page views we take an opportunity to reflect briefly on 2014. Our most popular posts, in no particular order, are as follows:

1. Moneyweb vs. Fin24 - copyright infringement litigation
2. This week, first Adword hearing for South Africa and more
3. Tuesday Tidbits: copyright reform and fashion design wars
4. RSA: Finance giants battle over limping trade mark – Discovery v Sanlam
5. Southern Africa GI adoption a step closer as Rooibos wins GI protection in Europe
6. What Role for Transparency in Trade Treaties Including IP?
7. South Africa: Three new trade mark judgements
8. International Patent Forum 2014, 18 - 19 March, London - Afro-IP reader discount rate inside

Special mention is made to the IPKat weblog, our guest bloggers and our readership both local to the continent and internationally, all of whom continue to support the journey into the heart of African IP which is appreciated; the blog continues to boast the single largest resource of searchable information on recent African IP news.

We are always looking for good content and bloggers and so if you feel that you are up to the task or want an outlet for your talents, please contact us here for further information.

Regards
