IMPORTANT INFORMATION.

It is important to note here that the African Intellectual Property Organisation (OAPI) provides a broad territorial protection to applicants of Intellectual Property. This is due to the fact that seeking protection in one Member State, you automatically benefit protection in all the 16 Member States, unlike other regional Organisations which require separate filing in each member State.
