The African Regional Intellectual Property Organization (ARIPO) will participate in the 2025 International Federation of Intellectual Property Attorneys (FICPI) Symposium, scheduled to take place from 2 to 5 April 2025, on Jeju Island, South Korea.
The symposium presents a valuable opportunity for ARIPO to strengthen global partnerships, highlight its contributions to the intellectual property (IP) landscape, and raise international awareness of ARIPO’s Registration System and other IP-related issues. By attending the event, ARIPO will engage directly with leading IP professionals and industry experts from around the world.
As a premier gathering of global patent attorneys, IP specialists, and corporate stakeholders, the FICPI Symposium provides a dynamic platform for discussing the future of IP. It facilitates the exchange of ideas, promotes the exploration of cutting-edge developments in the field, and fosters meaningful international collaboration.
These interactions are vital for sharing best practices and insights needed to address emerging global IP trends and challenges. ARIPO’s participation will also allow it to spotlight Africa’s unique perspectives and advancements in intellectual property, enhancing the visibility of the continent’s growing IP ecosystem.
ARIPO’s presence at the 2025 FICPI Symposium underscores its commitment to building a robust, harmonised, forward-looking IP framework across Africa. With 22 Member States, ARIPO plays a pivotal role in shaping IP laws and policies in the region while championing Africa’s voice on the global stage.
