Intellectual Property

We recognize that intellectual property is one the greatest assets that our clients hold, and unlocking its value is a key element in any business success. They are intangible assets that, like physical property, can be financially exploited through sale or licenses. Further, effective protection of intellectual property protects our clients’ image, reputation and goodwill. We have extensive knowledge on the registration and robust enforcement of intellectual property rights, both under the Zimbabwe Intellectual Property Organisation (ZIPO) and African Regional Intellectual Property Organisation (ARIPO) systems. We advise our clients on the following:

  • Registration and/or assignment of trademarks, copyright, patents, industrial designs and geographical indications,
  • IP licensing and assignment agreements,
  • Software development and maintenance agreements,
  • IP due diligence and audits,
  • Surveillance and enforcement of intellectual property, and
  • Litigation on infringement of IP rights.
