Adams & Adams visits eSwatini’s Intellectual Property Office

On 15 October 2025, Adams & Adams Partner, Amina Suliman, and Africa Practice Manager, Menzi Maboyi, travelled to eSwatini to engage with the Registrar of the IP Office, Dr Celucolo Dluldlu. We were warmly welcomed by the Registrar and were able to hold discussions on a number of topics relating to IP practice in Eswatini. We were also able to have meaningful engagements on a number of aspects relating to capacity and operational constraints. This included digitisation of the register, Madrid applications, processing times and search results. We were also able to discuss and escalate pending matters to the Registry, for attention.
