Intellectual property law

---

We are a recognised Intellectual Property Agents in Tanzania and the African Intellectual Property Organisation (ARIPO). We act directly before the ARIPO Office and Tanzania Intellectual Property Office. Through our carefully selected foreign associates we offer corresponding services all over the world.

We provide legal services on issues ranging from commercial exploitation to infringement disputes, and agreements that deal either exclusively with IP or with IP rights in the wider context of larger commercial transactions.

We handle the prosecution and clearance of new Intellectual Property Rights, as well as litigation in relation to Intellectual Property Rights infringement and unfair competition.

We deal in both areas of Intellectual Property law which are so-called ‘hard’ and ‘soft’ intellectual property. ‘Hard’ intellectual property generally relates to registered intellectual property rights such as patents, registered trademarks and registered designs, while ‘soft’ intellectual property includes things like copyright, unregistered trademarks, unregistered design rights, database rights, trade secrets, confidential information and passing off.

This practice also includes protection of Client’s Intellectual Property Rights by drafting cease and desist letters, licensing agreements, assignment agreements, due diligence reporting supporting M&A; and even outsourcing.
