Dear visitors,
It is with immense pleasure that I welcome you to the website of the African Intellectual Property Organization (OAPI).
In the digital age, information is more valuable than ever, and rapid access to it is a legitimate expectation. This is why we chose to invest in redesigning our digital platform. Our ambition was clear: to offer you a modern, multilingual, intuitive tool that truly meets your needs.
We have ensured that the information is not only accessible, but above all relevant and up-to-date. Whether you are filing an application for protection of an industrial property (trademarks, invention, design object, etc.), learning about our services, following intellectual property news at OAPI and in member states, or consulting databases, particularly case law databases, each section and each feature has been designed to simplify your procedures and optimize your experience.
This site is intended as a service tool. Thanks to our documentary resources (applicant guides, fee schedules, downloadable forms, classification tools), we provide you with everything you need to effectively protect your intellectual property rights in our 17 member states.
Our Intellectual Property Academy (APIDE) plays a central role in our service offerings. Through this website, you will discover a comprehensive catalog of degree and certificate programs, thematic webinars, and on-demand training, designed to strengthen the capacities of all stakeholders in the intellectual property ecosystem in Africa.
Our newsletter also serves as a valuable communication platform. It covers current topics related to intellectual property and development issues. Feel free to subscribe.
Furthermore, our platform gives you access to information on the development projects we are implementing, whether it be the Invention Financing Mechanism, structuring projects or our initiatives in the area of geographical indications.
This new website reflects our desire to make OAPI closer to you and more effective in its mission to protect and promote intellectual property.
Excellent navigation!
