US and EU IP Firms can now create an African IP department

US and EU IP firms, easily create an in-house African patent and trademark filing department that is more competitive than African IP firms.

– Select at least two admin staff; 
– GlobalIPCo will provide online systems and manuals (without charge) to file patents, trademarks and designs; and
– S&Z will provide training (without charge).

The GlobalIPCo system focusses on non-examining countries. Applications are purely administrative, with S&Z providing free legal support.

There is no subscription / licence fee and registering on the GlobalIPCo system imposes no obligations. Only pay (discounted) fees when instructing a filing, publication or courier.

Join the growing group of EU, US and Chinese firms that are participating in the huge growth in African IP filings, filing about 5,000 African patent applications per year.
