Abstract

This research explores the international and national (such as Kenya, South Africa, Uganda, Tanzania and the OAPI region) standards of trademark law as well as the international rules promoting free flow of goods and how these two legal systems safeguard the consumers’ right to health. Focuses on the following two specific aspects of trademark law: counterfeiting which includes infringement, and licensing of a trademark in relation to consumers’ protection.
