This is an area that has recently witnessed notable judicial decisions in Kenya which have not gained ample exposure and is therefore worth looking into as an area for potential emerging jurisprudence. A look at the existing practices across different jurisdictions in the world reveals various positions and approaches with respect to publicity rights. On one hand, there are jurisdictions in which publicity rights are categorized within the broad spectrum of personality rights, while in other jurisdictions these rights are treated as proprietary rights. Some jurisdictions also take a hybrid approach that amalgamates both proprietary and personality rights approaches. Publicity rights cut across four broad legal areas: tort, property, privacy and unfair trade practice law. These rights also have common similarities with copyright and trademark rights, although they are not synonymous. A significant number of countries which recognize a right of publicity have a mixture of elements of these areas, either as a form of common law approach based on the tort of passing off, or specific statutory enactments on publicity rights. Legal practice and development in each jurisdiction must be considered in the knowledge that each country has developed specific publicity rights mechanisms in response to the socio-economic needs and realities existing in its particular jurisdiction. This study surveys the legal landscape with respect to development of personality rights in Kenya. It also takes a brief look at several other select jurisdictions in an attempt to answer the question whether there is a jurisprudential justification for the recognition of a publicity right in Kenya.","PeriodicalId":242613,"journal":{"name":"LSN: Other Law & Society: Private Law - Intellectual Property (Topic)","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116526777","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Public discourse, free speech and global online crime prevention are all at present under extreme pressures, due, ironically, to both significant over-blocking and under-blocking by social media platforms. \u0000 \u0000At the one end of the spectrum, user-generated content is far too often subject to robo-takedowns. At the other extreme, clearly criminal activities such as online child sexual abuse runs rampant and is not blocked nearly enough throughout the world. These two extremes are to a great extent caused by an inadequate and unbalanced content moderation and legal architecture developed by the digital gatekeepers. Moreover, the manner in which the Internet’s so-called ‘attention merchants’ and ‘surveillance capitalists’ abuse personal privacy through the data-harvesting and micro-targeting of individuals who gather in the ‘modern public squares’ is of enormous public concern internationally. \u0000 \u0000There is a clear and present need to ensure justice is done within the international digital community as evidenced by the public outcry on these fundamental issues as they play out on the world’s social media platforms. \u0000 \u0000“Digital due process” might form the basis of an online infrastructure to restore fundamental freedoms and support the rule of law in the digital world.","PeriodicalId":242613,"journal":{"name":"LSN: Other Law & Society: Private Law - Intellectual Property (Topic)","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125208877","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

But studies in economic sociology show that in complex fields where knowledge is rapidly advancing and widely dispersed among different firms, the locus of innovation is neither an individual nor a single firm. Rather, innovative ideas originate in the informal networks of learning and collaboration that cut across firms. \u0000Understanding innovation in this subset of industries as emerging out of networks of informal information-sharing across firms challenges traditional utilitarian theories of trade secret law — which assume trade secret protection is needed to prevent excessive private, self-help efforts to preserve secrecy. Doctrinally, knowledge network research suggests that the scope of trade secret protection in these industries should be narrow. In these industries, strong trade secret rights that grant managers tight control over employee-inventors’ informal information-sharing practices are bad innovation policy. Rather, optimizing trade secret law requires tailoring the strength of protection to match industry characteristics, narrowing trade secret scope in those industries where informal information-sharing networks play a prominent role. In turn, because industry types tend to cluster around geographic centers, the importance of tailoring cautions against current trends towards uniformity by federalizing trade secret law and favors state experimentalism in designing trade secret law and policy.","PeriodicalId":242613,"journal":{"name":"LSN: Other Law & Society: Private Law - Intellectual Property (Topic)","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123911040","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
