A Guide to Intellectual Property Protection in South Africa
It is often said that there is no copyright in ideas. As in most other jurisdiction, in South Africa, it is only the tangible expression of that idea that can be protected, provided that the expression meets certain criteria.
In South Africa, intellectual property can be protected either in terms of the Trade Marks Act, the Copyright Act, Designs Act, Patents Act or in terms of the Common Law.
