Do we know in money terms what affect IPs have on a country or in this case ECOWAS, do they use a Frame work from USA or is it internal (externally connecting)<br /><br />"IP-intensive industries" are estimated to generate 72 percent more value added (price minus material cost) per employee than "non-IP-intensive industries".<br /><br />Martin Smith<br />MSc Student <br />Nott Trent Uni<br />Engineering Mangmartin smithhttp://www.paperlessendeavour.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2617183138118819994.post-73631942818241857532011-04-04T14:01:19.729+02:002011-04-04T14:01:19.729+02:00Nigeria holds an observer status in ARIPO.
