Our Services
We conduct in-depth audits of your intangible assets to define a tailored protection strategy. This involves identifying what can and should be protected under current intellectual property laws in Cameroon and across OAPI member states. We help you design a legal framework around your innovations to prevent misuse or theft by competitors and third parties
We handle the filing, registration, and administrative follow-up of your trademarks, patents, industrial designs, and models within the OAPI jurisdiction and internationally (e.g., through WIPO mechanisms). We ensure renewal deadlines, oppositions, and record-keeping are managed efficiently, reducing the risk of losing protection over valuable IP assets
We assess the economic value of your intellectual property in the context of fundraising, mergers and acquisitions, or licensing agreements. Our team provides legal-financial opinions to help you leverage your IP for strategic financial decisions, in full compliance with OHADA business laws and applicable valuation standards
We draft and negotiate all types of intellectual property contracts, including license agreements, assignments, confidentiality agreements (NDAs), and research & development collaborations. These contracts are structured to protect your rights while enabling you to commercialize and expand the reach of your innovation
We manage pre-litigation and litigation processes related to counterfeiting, unfair competition, and parasitic commercial practices. Our team represents you before OAPI and national courts to defend your IP rights and seek remedies, whether through cease-and-desist actions, injunctions, or damages
We represent clients in arbitration and mediation procedures involving disputes over intangible assets. Our approach favors efficient, confidential, and enforceable resolutions in line with both OAPI and OHADA legal frameworks, allowing for effective cross-border dispute settlement
We offer customized training programs for your R&D, marketing, and management teams to enhance their understanding of how to identify, protect, and extract value from intellectual property. These sessions are designed to foster a proactive culture of innovation management within your organization and ensure compliance with IP regulations in Cameroon and across the region
