Mozambique - Protecting Intellectual PropertyMozambique - IPR
Despite the Government’s firm public stand against piracy, the weak Mozambican judicial system can make protection of intellectual property rights problematic. Pirated copies of audio, videotapes, DVDs, as well as counterfeit goods are commonly sold in Mozambique, although not produced in any significant volume. Enforcement is rare and highly selective. Firms entering the Mozambican market with their own intellectual property (IP) should consult local legal services providers on how to safeguard their IP.
