African leaders want more schools to teach about intellectual property rights. Officials from ARIPO and Uganda Registration Services Bureau met at Makerere University for three days to discuss how better IP knowledge can help Africa grow. URSB head Mercy Kainobwisho said Makerere should lead this change across Africa. She believes the school already has good rules to protect new ideas.

The group wants all students to learn how can claim ideas, how to guard them, and how to sell them. Professor Nawangwe agreed that students need these skills to succeed. Dr. Sabola from ARIPO explained that IP skills help turn new ideas into products people will buy. The meeting covered how ARIPO works with schools and how to move new tech from labs to markets.

Dr. Gamedze showed everyone the laws that keep university research safe. The plan aims to make IP classes normal parts of school programs. It will help students see the money-making side of their work. Both groups promised to keep spreading the word through Uganda and beyond to make Africa stronger.
