Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We welcome and appreciate your contributions, such as Patent Act 2003, but we regretfully cannot accept copyrighted text or images from either web sites or printed works. This article appears to contain work copied from book: Intellectual Property Protection in Africa: Status of Laws, Research and Policy Analysis in Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria, South Africa and Uganda, see https://books.google.com/books?id=DtEkAQAAIAAJ&dq=%22Status+of+Laws%2C+Research+and+Policy+Analysis+in+Ghana%2C+Kenya%2C+Nigeria%2C+South+Africa+and+Uganda%22&focus=searchwithinvolume&q=Ghana, and therefore to constitute a violation of Wikipedia's copyright policies. The copyrighted text has been or will soon be deleted. While we appreciate contributions, we must require all contributors to understand and comply with our copyright policy. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously, and persistent violators are liable to be blocked from editing.

Proposed deletion of Patent Act 2003


The article Patent Act 2003 has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern:
 * The vast majority of this article, as originally posted, consisted of original research (an interpretation of the laws meaning based on citations to the law itself) while the introduction was copied verbatim from its cited source. There being no valid material to preserve on this article, I propose that it be deleted.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Speedy deletion nomination of User:Ad5th/sandbox


A tag has been placed on User:Ad5th/sandbox requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from book: Intellectual Property Protection in Africa: Status of Laws, Research and Policy Analysis in Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria, South Africa and Uganda, see https://books.google.com/books?id=DtEkAQAAIAAJ&dq=%22Status+of+Laws%2C+Research+and+Policy+Analysis+in+Ghana%2C+Kenya%2C+Nigeria%2C+South+Africa+and+Uganda%22&focus=searchwithinvolume&q=Ghana. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
