Adams & Adams Maputo (Mozambique) hosts ARIPO officials

On 21 May 2026, Adams & Adams hosted a delegation from ARIPO and the Mozambique Intellectual Property Institute (IPI) at our offices in Maputo.

The visit followed the participation of Adams & Adams Mozambique in the ARIPO Online Services Awareness Workshop, held as part of ARIPO’s official mission in Mozambique, between 19 and 21 May 2026. The workshop aimed to showcase ARIPO’s e-filing system, which allows for the online submission of Industrial Property title applications, payment of fees, and tracking of cases.

As the largest user of the ARIPO online portal, Adams & Adams Mozambique partner, Elio Teixeira, was delighted to host the delegation at our offices, where he met with the Director General of IPI, Sheila Canda and members of the ARIPO delegation, including representatives from the finance and ICT departments. The purpose of the visit was to encourage engagement between ARIPO, the IPI, and users of the ARIPO system and to exchange insights on the ARIPO system. It was also an opportunity to gather feedback regarding our professional experience with ARIPO. The discussions centred on understanding our operational workflows, addressing current concerns, and making recommendations for improvement.
