Adire and Aso Oke are traditional fabrics that have been produced and worn by the Yoruba people of Nigeria for centuries. Adire is a tie-dyed cloth that uses indigo dye and resist-dyeing techniques to create various patterns and motifs. Aso oke is a hand-woven cloth that is used to make men's gowns, hats, women's wrappers, and head ties. Both fabrics are part of the rich cultural heritage and identity of the Yoruba people, and they reflect their history, values, and aesthetics.
However, these fabrics are now facing a serious threat from Chinese counterfeiters, who have been copying their designs and producing cheap imitations that are smuggled into Nigeria.
Episode 111 of the #IPSERIES podcast with Ifeanyi E. Okonkwo discusses how counterfeiting and piracy threaten the intellectual property of the Chinese now making Adire and Aso oke to import into the Nigerian market and many more
That's all for today's episode of IPSERIES. I hope you learned something new about the dark side of creativity: how counterfeiting and piracy threaten intellectual property.
