In the sixth episode of Season 4 of the Women’s IP World Podcast, Michele Katz is joined by Sarah Norkor Anku, Global Managing Partner at SN Anku IP Firm in Ghana. Drawing from her article in Women’s IP World Annual 2024, Sarah shares an in-depth look at the practical realities of managing intellectual property rights (IPRs) in Ghana—one of Africa’s most promising and dynamic business environments.

Sarah explains Ghana’s current IP framework, the role of key state institutions, and how local and foreign businesses can navigate the IP registration and enforcement process effectively. The episode covers critical topics such as enforcement through the courts, bad faith trademark filings, the need for registering licenses and technology transfer agreements, and the importance of IP due diligence for foreign investors.

With a focus on real-world challenges and strategic guidance, this conversation is essential listening for any business or innovator looking to expand into Ghana or better understand IP law within the African context.
