This fact, not sitting well with the Maasai’s prompted them to enlist the assistance of Light Years IP – a Washington based advocacy group in obtaining the funds owed to them for the replication of their patterns.
Subsequently, this led to the formulation of the Maasai Intellectual Property Initiative Trust. The trust will pay the legal fees of the Maasai people.
Despite looking for a resolution outside of the legal system, the Maasai’s are prepared to fight in courts – should the need arise.
Intellectual property is an extremely viable source. In some instances, it is a huge income generator. These cases just go to show how influential Africa is – regardless of the negatives associated with the continent.
