Mozambique’s Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) framework is governed by key legislation, notably the Copyright Law (Law No. 22/2022) and the Industrial Property Code (Decree No. 47/2015). These laws protect a variety of intellectual property types, including copyrights, trademarks, patents, industrial designs, and geographical indications. The Industrial Property Institute (IPI) and the National Institute of Book and Disc (INLD) are tasked with overseeing the administration and enforcement of these rights. Internationally, Mozambique is aligned with major agreements such as WTO TRIPS, WIPO, and the Paris and Berne Conventions. Despite the existence of a comprehensive framework, challenges remain, including low public awareness, piracy, and resource limitations. To fully benefit from IPR, especially in sectors linked to natural resources and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), Mozambique must strengthen enforcement mechanisms and promote awareness. These efforts are essential to fostering innovation, attracting investment, and driving sustainable economic growth.
