  On cultural appropriation and Intellectual Property Rights in the Caribbean; How long can we shout strangers away from the yard?   By Dr. Abiola Inniss Ph.D. LLM                In recent weeks, and not for the first time, there has been a tremendous clamour over the issue of cultural appropriation. This time it was about the use of the word J’ouvert as the label for a rum product to be produced by the well-known American actor Michael B Jordan.

For the purpose of my discourse, I am confined to the fifteen countries which are members of Cari

        Notes on Intellectual Property Rights and Jamaica’s National Emblems; The Kanye West incident.   By Dr Abiola Inniss Ph.D. LLM                        Recently, the question of Intellectual Property Rights arose in the Kanye West and the Government of Jamaica saga. West and his group had gone to Jamaica to hold a series of church service/ concert events and had produced merchandise which combined his business interests and the use of the Jamaican Coat of Arms. After the concert the West team proceeded to advertise the merchandise for sale on his Sunday service website which was met by the disapprobation of the government of Jamaica which requested that he cease the use and sale of merchandise carrying the National symbols since he did not have permission to do so, he complied.               The aftermath of these events saw a brief flurry of activity in which the public interest was engaged on the issue of the use of national symbols and the intellectual property ri
