Introduction
The sub-Sahara Africa has become a place of interest for the world. Though the region recorded an enormous inflow of investment in the past decade, there are however palpable set-backs that still impede economic development. Some of these include:
Political instability
Poor leadership
Lack of advanced technology
Low level of education and Infrastructure
One of the areas through which the Region can explore huge investment opportunities is in intellectual property rights development and protection. This will result in increased revenue.
