Intellectual Property Management In A Contemporary World: An Operational Manual For Environmental Health Professionals

Every profession strives to continue to maintain its dignity and professional ethics and values. Ordinarily, no professional would join a profession with an intention to merely practice it casually or for the fun of it. There are certain goals they would set to achieve within that profession.

The environment health profession is no exception. There is a pressing need to consolidate its ethics and values that crystallize into its intellectual property, since it is evident that a large number of environmental health practitioners world-wide have challenges with lucrative engagements, more so here in Nigeria.

To bring in the paradigm change needed for reforms within the environmental health profession, efforts have been made to add this book to the scanty literature that exists on the subject, particularly here in Nigeria. Its motive is intended to inform, educate and empower environmental health professionals on the use of their intellectual property to add value to their profession. The book also has sections containing useful information for other professionals in medicine, engineering, architecture, agriculture and others, mainly on how they couldtapinto the wealth oftheirintellectual property.

This book will change the way you think and work as a professional; it will give you a new professional outlook and personality, as well as set you on a new pedestal on the “fieldofplay.”
