Consultative roundtable on counterfeiting in Nigeria

According to the OECD-EUIPO report on Mapping the Real Routes of Trade in Fake Goods, African countries are a key destination for counterfeit goods such as pharmaceuticals, foods and beverages. Being one of the top three economies in Africa, Nigeria is also vulnerable to counterfeiting activities. As a result, there is significant public interest and concern about it.

An activity on counterfeiting took place in Nigeria on 1-2 November 2022. This activity was planned following a consultative roundtable for the Organisation Africaine de la Propriété Intellectuelle Member States in 2021, which aimed to exchange best practices and identify actions against counterfeiting and piracy in the pharmaceutical sector.
