Intellectual Property
Our expertise in trademarks and patent protection in the OAPI region cannot be overemphasized. We use an individualized approach to client representation in the entire intellectual property area. The Abeng Law Firm has a lot of experience in advising and assisting it’s clients in seeking intellectual property protection at OAPI. OAPI and most of the OAPI countries being French speaking, the bilingual character of the Firm (French/English) fills a vacuum that hitherto had not been. Our lawyers themselves do the required translation to meet up with the exigencies of some of our non French speaking clients.
The OAPI countries as of today include : Cameroon (Headquarters), Benin, BurkinaFasso, Cote d’Ivoire, Congo – Brazzaville, Central African Republic, Gabon, Chad, Guinea Bissau, Guinea Conakry, Equatorial Guinea, Mauritania, Senegal, Mali, Niger and Togo.
