LOOKING AT THE DESTRUCTION NDC HAS CAUSED TO THIS GREAT COUNTRY IN THE PAST 6 YEARS, ANY TALK ABOUT THIS INCOMPETENT AND CORRUPT ADMINISTRATION WINNING THE 2016 GENERAL ELECTIONS, WOULD BE DEEMED AS A BIG INSULT ON THE INTELLIGENCE OF ALL GHANAIANS!!!!!!! INSTEAD OF NDC TALKING ABOUT WINNING THE 2016 ELECTIONS, THEY MUST RATHER RENDER THEIR UNRESERVED AND SINCERE APOLOGIES TO THE GOOD PEOPLE OF GHANA, FOR THE DAMAGE CAUSED. NDC ARE NOT MANAGERS, THEY ARE DAMAGERS!!!!!!!!

This is funny. The prof. should be proud that his research is put to good use in the interest of the whole nation. Not every professor can say that his research contributed significantly to the development of our land. He should get some consultancy payment though. What is the research good for if you want to keep it to yourself?

Joojo, am sorry I don't know if you know what intellectual property rights are. That is why we don't develop and grow. What does his copyright got to do with the education govt has given. I have copyright over every article, manuscript, painting, music etc and my permission is needed to use in some form with the exception of for private use, educational purpose and generally non-commercial purpose. Even in such circumstances, the author's consent must be saught. Please don't let us put political lens to this and get educated if we don't know. I am an advocate for showing respect for intellectual property rights and the country will develop. Stop making photocopies of books, burning cds etc. That is how the US and Europe you so much desire to go developed.

If the professor's manuscript was produced anytime while working for the government or a government institution, it is works that may be considered as "work product" to which he could not claim sole ownership while being paid by government.

was he paid? you paaa, your head like canoe! government needed help and someone referred the material to them which the professor obliged. Now give him back his papers too, you refuse. Why? meanwhile all of this is from research. ndc are damn lazy and dont know the meaning of work.
you should be arguing for the man to get his papers back. Its his work. The man helped the government. Not the other way round and should be accredited.

even if it is your intellectual property that you claim, it is in the National interest for the Government to use it to defend Ghana, unless you are not truly a Ghanaian.

For that matter sueing government what a useless plot.
Professors do research to fix a situation or a problem in any country. That is why tertial institutions are independent institutions and therefore usually nonprofit organizations in the USA for example they are classified as 501c(3) under the tax code you might say the same classification as churches and in Ghana are subvented institutions. All funds to run the University, salaries and housing for professors are provided by the state.
All these including sabaticcal leaves and allowances are afforded the professors so as they could think and solve petinent social economic and engineering problems of a country with dignity of purpose.
Professors are advisors to presidents mostly pro bono in times of crises and so on.
Take the the economic recession that President Obama inherited for example it was one since the Great Depression. While Paulson and others were duggling in the numbers Nobel laureate in Economics like Joseph Stiglitz of Columbia University was advising president Obama and others like Professor Robert Reich were on MSNBC every night providing perspectives to calm the nation, so was Prof Jeffery Sachs who has visited Africa many times. These professors helped their country to overcome the recession.
Then look at what Ghanaian professor is doing taking advise from Bawumia to sue Ghanaians this guy should be fired by the Minister of Education.

Captein, in which university did you study intellectual property law? The intellectuals you are referring to, in America were obviously acknowledged when their work was used and that is why you are able to refer to them. The infringement of law is when you use the work without acknowledging the author. It means you are presenting the work as yours. That is what the Prof is angry about.
