全球转移:M-Pesa、知识产权和数字创新

Global Transfers: M-Pesa, Intellectual Property Rights and Digital Innovation

Christopher Foster

摘要:

于二零二零年七月,在COVID危机中,肯尼亚移动运营商Safaricom宣布移动货币服务M-Pesa的知识产权(IPR)将“重新由非洲控制”。本文追踪了知识产权审查最初是如何在肯尼亚境外举行的,以及理解M-Pesa作为一种包容性创新的意义。通过对知识产权和创新的分析的反思,本文有助于讨论全球南方数字创新的结构方面。通过关注知识产权,它揭示了全球知识产权制度和跨境知识产权实践形成不均衡结果和权力的一些过程。

英文摘要:

In July 2020, in the midst of the COVID crisis, the Kenyan mobile operator Safaricom announced that the intellectual property rights (IPR) for mobile money service M-Pesa were "moving back into African control". This paper tracks how the IPR originally came to be held outside Kenya, and the implications for understanding M-Pesa as an inclusive innovation. Through reflection of this analysis of IPR and innovation, the paper contributes to discussions on structural aspects of digital innovation in the global south. By focussing on IPR, it unpacks some of the processes by which global intellectual property regimes and cross-border IPR practices shape uneven outcomes and power.
