It is in solving manufacturing problems that most innovation and invention are borne. Often it is an employee that sees where quality or quanity
can improve or identify bottlenecks in the management or work flow or can see a new use for a technology or process. As more of Uganda's workforce enters higher

Uganda has been a signatory to the World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO) since the 1970s however, seemingly has no office to register trademarks

doesn't care about authors' works or their rights
UGUSA GROUP is looking into the legalities and costs of registering trademarks and patents by International Standards on behalf of Ugandans
so perhaps they can take legal action or invoke DMCA notices to webhosts of unapproved content
