Uganda

Uganda’s current Constitution, its fourth since the country's independence in 1962, was adopted in 1995. Since then, the Constitution has been amended three times, most recently in 2005.

The Constitution does not contain provisions on the protection of intellectual property rights related to copyrights, trademarks, patents and other industrial property rights. However, the traditional and customary rights are recognized and guaranteed in Chapter XVI on the 'Institution of Traditional or Cultural Leaders'.
Furthermore, Article 26 of the Constitution protects private property, providing in part: “No person shall be compulsorily deprived of property or any interest in or right over property of any description . . . .”
