Director General of ARIPO up for grabs


ARIPO are inviting candidates to submit applications for the post Director General of the organisation commencing January 2013 and currently held by Gift Sibanda. Details of duties, eligibility and compensation are set on on the home page of the ARIPO site here. Closing date for applications is 31 May 2012.

Meantime, over on the AFRO-IP Linkedin Group, Italian patent attorney Sara Morabito wants to know "does anybody know if there is a database for the ARIPO designs? and if it is open to public and free of charge?"

Perhaps a reader (or the successful candidate) could assist her.

IPKenya has constructed a neat timeline of previous DG's and makes a case for a Kenyan successor.
