DIRECTORY OF MASTERS IN INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY GRADUATES

November 2019

Foreword The Directory of Intellectual Property experts has been developed to provide contact details of the IP experts in ARIPO Member States, particularly those that have completed the Masters in Intellectual Property (MIP) offered jointly by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO, African Regional Intellectual Property Organization (ARIPO) and Africa University (AU) in Mutare, Zimbabwe. This Publication is intended to support and promote IP development and capacity building. The Publication has two components, one providing contact details of the Africa University MIP graduates by cohort and by country. The other component draws on the IP

Experts that are available in the Member States. We would like to indicate that the list is non-exhaustive and would be updated from time to time. I take this opportunity to thank all the entrants for their support in compiling this very important information reserve and we look forward to improving this directory to develop the IP system in the ARIPO Member States in particular and Africa as a whole. We have tried to make this directory easy for you to reference and we hope you will find the information contained therein helpful. Fernando dos Santos Director General
