Expanding knowledge on IP in Africa is essential to create a strengthened IP network. It contributes to the development of human resources in the field of IP in Africa, creating a critical mass of professionals with the necessary skills to enable them to play a leading role in promoting the teaching, use and protection of intellectual property.

OAPI, in collaboration with WIPO, the EUIPO and the University Yaoundé II, has for several years been delivering a very comprehensive master’s programme on IP in Cameroon.
