Around the world, Intellectual Property has been a key driver of radical economic and social change over the past generation. Intellectual Property holds no less a place of prominent importance in the global revolution taking place throughout Africa today. We strive to remain at the forefront of Intellectual Property matters on the Continent.

Our teams offer practical solutions to a wide range of IP matters including trademarks, industrial designs, domain names, utility models and provide legal advisory services on registration, recordals, assignment and licensing agreements.
Our teams handle IP-related legal matters in the majority of the African regions and organizations such as in East, Central Africa and West Africa, the African Regional Intellectual Property Organization (ARIPO) and the African Intellectual Property Organization (OAPI).
