Zusammenfassung:Using the Nigerian Patent System as a case study and drawing attention to some fundamental issues often ignored, the paper is divided as following: First, it establishes the case of foreign dominance of patent grants in Nigeria, but argues that this does not entirely derive from the selfish interests of the MNCs.

Finally, it examines Nigerias capability to develop an indigenous technology. (DSE)
