The Center for International Intellectual Property Studies (CEIPI) at the University of Strasbourg is proud to announce the signing of an international cooperation agreement with the African Intellectual Property Organization (OAPI).
OAPI is an intergovernmental organization, created in 1962, which today groups together seventeen African states, responsible for the uniform protection of intellectual property rights on the territories of these states, notably through the issuance of titles for the protection of industrial property rights.
CEIPI has been working closely with OAPI for many years, and in particular with the “Denis Ekani” intellectual property training center attached to the Organization. Through this agreement, the two institutions wish to deepen their collaboration.
The agreement was signed during the meeting of the Administrative Council of CEIPI on 31 May 2023 in Strasbourg, in the presence of Mr. Denis Loukou BOHOUSSOU, Director General of OAPI, Mr. Yann BASIRE, Director General of CEIPI, Mr. Benoît BATTISTELLI, Chairman of the Administrative Council of CEIPI, and members of the Council.
