As a Developer, i feel for Artwell. A lot of Zim developers have such stories to tell. Unfortunately in Zimbabwe, u cant patent a idea or source code. You can ONLY copyright it. (@advocatemnyama @begottensun please confirm) Not sure in SA where Artwell is domiciled. pic.twitter.com/UXKVML5ybs

You on point, the app is not even an “idea” any one who can code could have copied wechat just like econet did

I always tell people to engage legal minds when they have these “ideas” but seems most Zim entrepreneurs and start-ups don’t learn. The business world isn’t for the naive.

In the world of Intellectual Property you cannot protect an idea. You must reduce it to material form such as a prototype a model, a method of doing business etc… in the knowledge economy don’t give away/discuss ideas without registering the IP or having an iron clad NDA

This guy was very stupid. Given what Econet offered to his idea and he turned it down. Him and Ronald Wayne same whatsapp group.
