However, some merit special mention. Foremost, Professor Babatunde Fagbayibo, my supervisor. He has been a constant encouragement, right from the day I spoke to him on my intention to pursue this qualification. He has sharpened my research and writing skills through his thorough, analytical, critical and incisive comments; all the while challenging my perspectives on the research. I owe the relatively short period within which I have completed this thesis to his timeous review of my work. I say: Asante sana. My wife Sujie; daughters Noelle and Nadine. I will now try to make up for the long hours lost while I was engrossed in research and writing. Thank you for the support. My mother Dosiana, who invested in my formative schooling years, all in the staunch belief in my abilities. Irene Ochola, my secretary, for giving this work the required shape, and remaining patient throughout, sometimes, under extreme pressure. The University of South Africa, I have undertaken my Master’s and Doctorate studies in this prestigious university for the past five years. It has been both fulfilling and life changing. The quality of resources and support (particularly by the faculty members) availed to students at a very reasonable cost is simply truly remarkable. If I were to do it again, I would not do it any differently. i DEDICATION In memory of my late Dad, Thomas Browns Obed Akhonya. ii DECLARATION I, WILFRED AKHONYA MUTUBWA, declare that this thesis is my own original work and that all the sources that I have used or quoted in this thesis has been indicated and acknowledged by means of complete references. This thesis has not been presented in any other institution. Signed …………………………………………. Date ……………………………… iii SUMMARY OF THESIS Africa has always aspired for the economic integration of its markets. This endeavour is evident right from the 1960s clamour for independence and shortly thereafter, as newly independent states. During this period African countries under the umbrella of the OAU underscored economic cooperation as the basis for intra-African relations. However, it was not until the year 1991, with the conclusion of the AEC Treaty, that the continent formally adopted a framework and roadmap towards continental economic integration. The 40-year roadmap towards a continental economic community was premised upon the two principles of harmonisation and devolution. Moreover, the six-stage integration process set out in Article 6 of the AEC Treaty identifies the eight RECs in Africa as the building blocks for the continent’s proposed single market and economic union. It also underpinned the economic integration of the continent on the harmonious co-existence of the RECs. A step-wise ambitious integration model was adopted under Article 6 of the AEC Treaty. The model envisaged the creation of a Free Trade Area (FTA), followed by a Customs Union, a Common Market and ultimately a fully-fledged Economic Union. As a first step towards the continental integration, the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) was unveiled in 2018. Cross border, intra-African trade, is bound to lead to a rise in investment and commercial transactions on the continent. This, in turn, will inevitably lead to disputes which require resolution. The economic integration of the continent is fast evolving under the aegis of the AU; whose dispute settlement system is currently also under review. Significantly, the AU has consolidated its dispute settlement mechanism, following the merger in 2008 of the ACJ and ACH&PR, into a single AU court, known as the African Court of Justice and Human Rights (ACJ&HR). It is within the context of the merged AU single court that this thesis grounds itself. It seeks to interrogate the adequacy of the continental trade and investment dispute settlement system and examines its viability within the consolidated AU dispute settlement system. While the AU led continental economic integration gains pace, the dispute settlement system, critical for the integration, is either lagging behind or is not receiving adequate attention. As a result, the dispute iv settlement systems created under the AEC and AfCFTA are incongruent with the principles of harmonisation and devolution, which underpin the continent’s economic integration goals. The recommendations proffered, align with the philosophy of harmonising and devolving the continental trade and investment dispute settlement system. The research proposes to locate the continental trade and investment dispute settlement within the AU single court system. The principal recommendation is not only to expand the Court’s jurisdiction in order to accommodate the trade and investment mandate, but also to use sub-regional REC judicial organs as courts of first instance for the ACJ&HR. A hierarchical order of the continental court system, with the single AU Court at the apex, is also proposed in this study as the supreme overarching supranational judicial organ.

It analyzes Product Placement as the embedding of an advertising message within a fictional one, as the insertion of a trademarked object into the realisms of filmic space, and as the incorporation of corporate remakings of the world with film fictions.

  • Sui GENERIS GENIUS: HOW the DESIGN PROTECTION STATUTE COULD BE AMENDED to INCLUDE ENTERTAINMENT PITCH IDEAS
    THE JOHN MARSHALL REVIEW OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY LAW Sui GENERIS GENIUS: HOW THE DESIGN PROTECTION STATUTE COULD BE AMENDED TO INCLUDE ENTERTAINMENT PITCH IDEAS LINDSEY WEISSELBERG ABSTRACT Hollywood writers and idea men have struggled to gain protection for their entertainment treatments because their works are caught in the realm between unprotected ideas and fully protected expression. In addition to their failure to secure federal copyright protection for their treatments, idea men have also failed to obtain state law protection for their entertainment ideas, leaving them with virtually no legal recourse for idea theft. This comment proposes that Congress should create sui generis protection for ideas in the entertainment industry similar to the protections afforded under the Vessel Hull Design Protection Act. Copyright © 2009 The John Marshall Law School M Cite as Lindsey Weisselberg, Sui Generis Genius: How the Design ProtectionStatute Could be Amended to Include EntertainmentPitch Ideas, 9 J. MARSHALL REV. INTELL. PROP. L. 184 (2009). Sui GENERIS GENIUS: How THE DESIGN PROTECTION STATUTE COULD BE AMENDED TO INCLUDE ENTERTAINMENT PITCH IDEAS LINDSEY WEISSELBERG* INTRODUCTION Imagine moving to Los Angeles to follow your Hollywood dream of making it big as a screenwriter. After several years finding little success in the industry, you are given a shot at developing a drama for a major TV network. You pitch your idea with a fully detailed outline of characters and subplots. But then, after completing the script for the pilot episode, the network fires you; and your involvement in the project is over. The network, however, continues to run with your idea. About a year later, a highly anticipated new show premieres with striking similarities to the original idea you pitched to the network.

  • Jackson Dockery Date: 3/11/16 Run Tom Run: the Unexpected
    Jackson Dockery Date: 3/11/16 Run Tom Run: The Unexpected Stereotype I think when you start a high-concept, analytical paper on the arts and what they mean in the world, you should always ask the hard-hitting, down-to-earth, what-the-people-want-to-hear questions that…well the people want to hear. Can you name a Tom Hanks character? And at first I know what you’re going to say, “Oh come on bro, you’ve got to be kidding me bro, Forrest Gump bro. Not a tough question. Not a tough YOU bro.” And although you may be true Uncle Eli from Boston, I’d omit that one because the character’s name is in the freakin’ title. So then you may go, oh Tom Hanks in Big, or Tom Hanks in Cast Away, or Tom Hanks in Saving Private Ryan, but as you go on you realize that these aren’t characters but merely an actor and the movies he’s been in. It’s no question Hanks is currently one of the world’s most beloved American actor, a man who is undeniably talented and versatile. But why then do we find ourselves with each movie he makes, more and more detached from the great characters that he’s creating? Is it the thick blur of celebrity? Perhaps the immense fame Hanks has garnered has not hurt his performance, but our perception of them. Hindering our ability to lose ourselves in a story and leave the real world outside for the theater we’ve walked into.

PREFACE. IN the month of August, 1841, I attended an anti-slavery convention in Nantucket, at which it was my happiness to become acquainted with FREDERICK DOUGLASS, the writer of the following Narrative. He was a stranger to nearly every member of that body; but, having recently made his escape from the southern prison-house of bondage, and feeling his curiosity excited to ascertain the principles and measures of the abolitionists,—of whom he had heard a somewhat vague description while he was a slave,—he was induced to give his attendance, on the occasion alluded to, though at that time a resident in New Bedford.
