Abstract
Science research and Innovation are key to national development especially in an era of expanding global market and the growth of knowledge based resources. In Africa, one of the underlying setbacks for our development is the slow pace of innovation and technology development.

This paper, therefore, seeks to expose the participants to IPR creation and management with emphasis on patenting and utility models
