The article focuses on South African law, but the nature of intellectual property rights is such that one country cannot develop legal protections without taking the global perspective into consideration. It is generally regarded as lawful to learn from others and virtually no country gives the creator of an idea a perpetual and all-inclusive property right in it against imitators. But there comes a time when the learning process oversteps the mark and imitators 'attempt to reap where they have not sown'. This has serious implications for developing countries where stringent enforcement of intellectual property rights can lead to a denial of access to vital information. The aim of intellectual property law is therefore to strike a balance between the rights of the creator and the rights of citizens to learn from the experience of others. Whether or not this balance has been achieved is a matter of ongoing debate and concern. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Critical Arts: A South-North Journal of Cultural & Media Studies is the property of Taylor & Francis Ltd and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
