Boris Happy Odalonu — 2024-11-05

This study examined the gender barrier driving inequalities among the pastoralists of Nigeria’s Sahel Region in particular Bauchi and Gombe States. The study aims at identifying the socio-cultural, economic and institutional factors contributing to gender inequalities among the pastoralists. Using a cross-sectional survey design, qualitative data were collected through in-depth interviews and focus group discussions. Findings reveal that cultural practices and social norms limit women’s participation as they are presumed unfit for various duties; power relations, gendered policies and laws also deny women decision-making power. Furthermore, lack of credit and economic opportunities put women in another vulnerable position of being financially trapped. In addition, patriarchal norms and institutions contribute to gender inequality through exclusion of women from decision-making processes and education. Based on the findings, the study recommends inclusive policy intercessions emphasizing on gender-sensitive education, better economic opportunities, institutional support, and community involvement. Addressing these problems can help to advance gender equity and development in Sahel Region of Nigeria.

Crossing Frontiers: A Comparative Exploration of AI Inventorship and Ownership in Patent Law

Chisanga Mutale — 2024-11-05

This article examines the implications of attributing inventorship to Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems in patent law. It aims at comprehending the challenges in assigning patent rights to AI due to its increasing role in inventive processes. With AI's rising usage across sectors, the need to research on complex issue of conferring personhood upon non-human entities has become evident. To achieve this goal, the article employs a comprehensive review of patents Acts, policy documents and cases such as Thaler v. Comptroller General of Patents, Trade Marks and Designs [2020] EWHC 2412 (Pat). The review is coupled with the analysis of AI inventorship across various jurisdictions such as the United States of America, European Union and South Africa. This is done to understand the criteria for determining inventorship and the contemporary interpretations of the concept of “intelligence." The article finds that current patent laws encounter difficulties in adequately protecting AI-generated inventions due to limitations in recognizing AI as inventors. This highlights the need for a sui generis system tailored to address the unique challenges posed by AI inventorship within patent law. Taken together, the article underscores the need to adapt legal frameworks to accommodate AI's evolving role, ensuring fair treatment and protection of AI-generated inventions, while advocating for further research to navigate the intersection of AI and patent law effectively.
