Hi, I’m Ogonna Annette Onwudiegwu, your IP guide and nosy neighbor here in The IP Hood. I am also a law graduate and writer, with a soft spot for storytelling and a strong love for innovation.
I am interested in how IP can bridge the gap between knowledge and impact — helping research move from paper to product, invention to implementation, idea to industry.
You’ll often find me wandering through the winding streets of the IP estate — from patent parks to copyright cafés, design districts to traditional knowledge courtyards — taking notes, asking questions, and turning what I learn into stories for you.
Some days, I’m on solo walks, deep-diving into technology transfer policies and IP laws in Africa. Other days, I’m chatting with experts across the continent to bring their stories, struggles, and insights straight to you. But no matter where I go, I always return to the Hood to tell you all about it.
